A  postdoctoral  position  in  evolutionary  genomics  is  available  in  the  Vicoso  group  at  the  Institute  of   Science  and  Technology,  Austria.  The  general  focus  of  the  lab  is  the  evolution  of  sex  chromosomes,   which  we  investigate  using  a  combination  of  experimental  and  computational  approaches.  Questions   that  motivate  our  research  include:  why  do  some  Y/W  chromosomes  degenerate  while  other  remain   homomorphic?  What  forces  drive  some  species  to  acquire  global  dosage  compensation,  while  others  only   compensate  specific  genes?  What  are  the  frequency  and  molecular  dynamics  of  sex-­‐chromosome   turnover?       The  successful  applicant  will  apply  comparative  genomics  analyses  to  a  wide  variety  of  species,  and   combine  them  with  population  DNA  and  gene  expression  data,  to  achieve  a  better  understanding  of  the   evolutionary  and  molecular  forces  driving  sex  chromosome  differentiation.  Candidates  wishing  to  work   on  a  specific  project  in  sex  chromosome  evolution  are  also  encouraged  to  apply.       Applicants  should  have  obtained,  or  anticipate  obtaining  by  the  start  date,  a  PhD  in  biology,  genetics,   bioinformatics,  or  a  related  field.  A  strong  background  in  one  or  more  the  following  areas  is  highly   desired:   •  

comparative  genomics  

•  

molecular  evolution  

•  

population  genetics  

•  

bioinformatics  

The  initial  appointment  is  for  two  years,  with  the  possibility  of  extension  and  a  minimum  salary  of  49,070   Euros  per  year  (gross).     IST  Austria  (www.ist.ac.at)  is  a  young  and  vibrant  institute  dedicated  to  basic  research,  with  a  strong   focus  on  evolutionary  biology  (other  EB  groups  include  those  of  Nick  Barton,  Jonathan  Bollback,  and   Sylvia  Cremer)  and  ties  to  several  evolutionary  groups  in  the  area  (www.univie.ac.at/evolvienna/).  We   are  located  on  the  outskirts  of  Vienna,  and  the  official  language  of  the  institute  is  English.       To  apply,  send  a  short  summary  of  research  interests,  a  CV,  up  to  three  relevant   publications/manuscripts,  and  the  names  and  contact  information  for  three  references  to  Beatriz  Vicoso   ([email protected]).  The  review  of  applications  will  start  on  July  1st  and  continue  until  the  position  is   filled.  The  start  date  is  flexible,  but  an  earlier  start  would  be  preferable.     More  information  on  the  lab  is  available  at:  http://ist.ac.at/research-­‐groups-­‐pages/vicoso-­‐group/
