December 1, 2012 EvolDir 47<br />
quences for male-female coevolution. This will be done<br />
by combining molecular work with behavioural experimental<br />
work to measure trait expression at the molecular<br />
level combined with phenotypic tests and fitness<br />
estimates.<br />
WWU is a large vibrant university hosting a number<br />
of excellent scientific institutions (http://www.unimuenster.de/en/).<br />
The Institute for Evolution and Biology<br />
provides a stimulating research environment with<br />
a number of scientific groups researching on diverse topics<br />
centred on different aspects of the study of Evolution.<br />
The town of Muenster itself is characterised by<br />
its many students and presents a dynamic environment<br />
with many cultural and social events throughout the<br />
year (http://www.muenster.de/en/).<br />
Qualifications: I search a highly motivated student of<br />
any nationality and those with the equivalent of a Master’s<br />
degree in biology are invited to apply. A background<br />
in any of the following subjects will be useful:<br />
previous experience with Drosophila work, good molecular<br />
skills, preferably experience with qPCR, a good<br />
understanding of statistics. Applicants should have excellent<br />
communication skills. The working language of<br />
the institute and the lab is English.<br />
Please send your application in one single PDF file to<br />
Dr. Claudia Fricke (Claudia.Fricke@uni-muenster.de).<br />
Included should be 1) a cover letter with a statement of<br />
your research interests and motivation (max. 1 page),<br />
2) your CV including details of your research experience<br />
(with the abstract of your masters thesis) and 3)<br />
contact details of at least two referees.<br />
Applications should be written in English and the deadline<br />

GRADUATE OPPORTUNITIES IN EVOLUTION-<br />
ARY GENOMICS<br />
The Graduate Program in the Department of Biological<br />
Sciences at the University of Notre Dame is recruiting<br />
doctoral students for Fall 2013 in research<br />
areas ranging from evolutionary dynamics in natural<br />
populations, climate change, speciation, and infectious<br />
diseases systems biology. Our Ph.D. program tailors<br />
training to the student’s biology-centered research program<br />
and emphasizes ties to our expanding strengths<br />
in computational biology, network science, and applied<br />
math. Numerous opportunities for interdisciplinary interactions<br />
among research areas are available, including<br />
our GLOBES training program http://globes.nd.edu/<br />
. The following faculty are seeking graduate students<br />
in Evolutionary Genomics:<br />
Jeff Feder: http://biology.nd.edu/people/faculty/feder/<br />
Mike Ferdig: http://biology.nd.edu/people/faculty/ferdig/<br />
Hope Hollocher: http://biology.nd.edu/people/faculty/hollocher/<br />

Research and teaching assistantships and a variety of<br />
fellowship opportunities are open to students. For more<br />
information regarding the Biological Sciences Graduate<br />
Program and other graduate opportunities see<br />
http://biology.nd.edu/. The deadline for receipt of all<br />
application materials for the Ph.D. program is January<br />
5, 2013, although earlier submission is encouraged to<br />
ensure full consideration for available fellowships. For<br />
