THIS TEXT IS CURRENTLY A DRAFT.
The Mathematics and BioSciences group (MaBS) at the University of Vienna is looking for a strong and highly motivated candidate for a University Assistant position in evolutionary modeling. The research focus is flexible and includes work in population genetics or genomics, quantitative genetics, and evolutionary ecology. See the MaBS homepage (www.mabs.at) for further information on our research interests.
In recent years, Vienna has developed into one of the leading centers in evolutionary biology (www.evolvienna.at). In addition to a stimulating scientific environment, Vienna also offers an extraordinarily high quality of life. Affordable housing, excellent public transport, great restaurants, a range of international schools, two operas, two music centers, many theaters, and museums in combination with a pleasant climate make Vienna one of the most attractive cities in Europe.
The successful candidate will have a record of high-quality research in evolutionary modeling. S/he is expected to develop and maintain an independent research profile and to attract third-party funding. In addition to research, the candidate will contribute to teaching and will supervise students.
The position comes with a competitive salary; it is offered with a start date as soon as possible (negotiable) and with an end date on 30.09.2025.
Formal requirement is a PhD and a strong background and interest in quantitative evolutionary research (analytical or computational modeling). Prior postdoc experience and the proven ability to attract funding are desirable. The working language is English; German skills are not essential.
Applications should include:
