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 biology. 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, life history or 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]
<mailto:[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 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 come with
a teaching requirement of 4h per week during the semester. Some basic
zoology classes have
to be taught in German. Therefore, willingness to learn the German
language is required. The
candidates have the option to acquire a "Habilitation". Working language
of the lab is English.
The Johannes Gutenberg-Universität Mainz is interested to increase the
number of women
in Science. Applications from female scientists are strongly encouraged.
Similarly qualified
candidates with disabilities will be preferred.
The university of Mainz hosts many excellent scientific institutions
http://www.uni-mainz.de/eng/
and Mainz is a historic city located at the river Rhine with many
students and a rich social and
cultural life
(http://www.mainz.de/WGAPublisher/online/html/default/hpkr-5nkek8.en.html).
Interested candidates should send applications as a single e- mail
attachment containing a CV,
a list of publications (including reprints of the three most important
publications), a research and
teaching statement and the addresses of two potential referees to:
