Postdoc: UTuebingen - Evolution of sperm function/ physiology

For a postdoc position at the University of Tuebingen (Germany), funded by the VolkswagenStiftung http://www.volkswagenstiftung.de/funding/thematic-impetus/evolutionary-biology.html?L=1, I am looking for a postdoctoral researcher who is interested in (experimental) evolution of sperm physiology/ function/ competitiveness using Drosophila and bedbugs. The position is fixed-term, for ca. three years, available from Nov 2010 or early 2011. A PhD in genetics, evolutionary or reproductive biology or related subjects is required, ideally coupled with experience in working with Drosophila, and in methods of sperm physiology or experimental evolution.

The payment is at TVL E13 (which amounts to anything between 17,500-28,800 EURO annually (after taxes), depending on previous experience, marital status, children and extra insurances). In case of equal quality of applicants, those with disabilities will be preferred. The university of Tuebingen aims to increase the representation of women in research and teaching and therefore encourages female scientists to apply.

Please contact me for further details (k.reinhardt@sheffield.ac.uk) or send me your cv, 2-3 email addresses of references and, if you have, your own two favourite (not necessarily highest-ranked) publications (all in one file), to (k.reinhardt@sheffield.ac.uk). The deadline for applications is 26 Sept 2010.
