MPI-EVA Primate population genetics

Applications are invited for a two-year postdoctoral position investigating the population histories of wild primate populations in the molecular genetics lab in the Primatology department of the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology in Leipzig, Germany.

The project will involve high-throughput sequencing and analysis of large DNA sequence datasets, and relevant experience would be advantageous. Starting date is January 2010 or soon thereafter. Support is provided in the form of a tax-free stipend; the exact amount depends upon age and years of post-Ph.D experience. Leipzig is a charming city with a lively cultural scene and a low cost of living and the MPI-EVA is an outstanding place to do research.

Enquiries and applications in the form of a cv, brief statement of research interests, relevant publications and contact information for three references should be sent via email to Linda Vigilant at vigilant@eva.mpg.de
