Research Scientist position (TVL13) in Evolutionary<br />
Biology at Potsdam University<br />
A Research Scientist position (TVEL 13) is available<br />
at the Unit of Evolutionary Biology/Systematic Zoology<br />
at the University of Potsdam, starting February 1st<br />
2013. The position will be available for 3 years, with<br />
the possibility of prolongation for a total duration up<br />
to 6 years.<br />
The Unit of Evolutionary Biology/Systematic Biology<br />
has a strong focus on population genetic and speciation<br />
research, involving various taxonomic groups and<br />
a suite of molecular, morphological, and behavioural<br />
approaches (see<br />
http://www.uni-potsdam.de/index.php?id=21862 for<br />
recent work). The Unit runs a state-of-the-art molecular<br />
evolutionary laboratory.<br />
The successful applicant is expected to run his/her own<br />
research program (including attraction of third-party<br />
funding) as well as to scientifically interact with other<br />
group members.<br />
The position includes a teaching duty of 4 hours/week<br />
in zoology/evolutionary biology for undergraduates and<br />
graduates. Teaching can be generally performed in English,<br />
but the willingness to acquire German language<br />
skills for undergraduate teaching would be preferential.<br />
Applicants must hold a university doctoral degree in<br />
biology or a related discipline. Familiarity with modern<br />
molecular genetic and genomics techniques (including<br />
Next Generation Sequencing) as well as in genomic<br />
data analysis is preferable.<br />
The University of Potsdam is an equal opportunity em-<br />
ployer. If equally qualified, disabled applicants will be<br />
preferably considered. The University of Potsdam aims<br />
at increasing the number of female researchers and encourages<br />
qualified females to apply.<br />
Potsdam is a beautiful city in close vicinity to the German<br />
capital of Berlin. Potsdam University takes an<br />
effort to assist its members in family-related issues and<br />
has repeatedly been awarded the total e-quality award.<br />
Please send your application by email (preferably in<br />
a single pdf) before 30th of November 2012 to: Prof.<br />

The incumbent will: (1) Design and validate<br />
an isothermal molecular diagnostic assay for the boxwood<br />
blight fungus Calonectria pseudonaviculata; and<br />
(2) Utilize comparative RAD-Seq genome datasets to<br />
analyze genetic diversity across a global C. pseudonaviculata<br />
sample; and (3) Contribute to the training of<br />
student interns. The incumbent will be part of a multistate<br />
collaborative research initiative aimed at mitigating<br />
the effect of boxwood blight disease in the U.S.<br />
