We invite applications for three open *Assistant professor /
wissenschaftlicher Assistent *positions in the newly
established evolutionary biology group at the Institute of Zoology at
the Johannes Gutenberg University of Mainz, Germany.
We are seeking highly motivated researchers with a PhD and Postdoctoral
Experience and a background in
behavioral or evolutionary ecology. Three new junior research groups
will be established associated to the new
evolutionary biology group of Prof. Susanne Foitzik, who recently moved
from Munich. Successful candidates
should work in related research areas, for example on the behavior or
ecology of (social) insects, host-parasite
coevolution, population genetics, chemical ecology, genomics,
experimental evolution or theoretical evolutionary biology.
Information on Prof. Susanne Foitzik's research can be found at
http://ecology.bio.lmu.de/etho_e/index.htm, or
by directly contacting her: [email protected]

Excellent research conditions will be found at the newly renovated and
well equipped behavioral, genetic
and chemical laboratories in Mainz. Furthermore, new climate rooms and
chambers are available for animal maintenance.
Successful candidates should have an excellent publication record.
Experience with grant acquisition and
teaching is advantageous. The candidates should set-up independent
research labs and are encouraged
to apply for grants in Germany or abroad (e.g., DFG, Eu). The positions
