Postdoctoral position available

Evolution of male biased gene expression in Drosophila

This position is available for 18 months in the laboratory of Christian 
Schlotterer. Applicants should have a strong background in molecular 
genetics. Candidates familiar with molecular evolution and/or population 
genetics and genomic databases are particularly encouraged to apply.

The successful candidate will have close interaction with 
bioinformaticians, population geneticists and developmental biologists 
in the group.   

Current members of the laboratory come from Austria, France, Germany, 
Italy, India and Scotland. The laboratory operates bilingually, allowing

research groups focusing on population genetics and evolutionary 
biology: Reinhard Burger, Ulf Dieckmann, Dustin Penn, Karl Sigmund, 
Peter Schuster and Claus Vogl. Apart from good science, Vienna also 
offers an active cultural life (2 operas, 2 world class concert houses, 
numerous museums and the famous coffee houses), excellent public
