Your personal sphere of play: Your future position is at the Department of Botany and Biodiversity Research in the Plant Phylogenomics Group within the Division of Systematic and Evolutionary Botany. Research in our group focuses on how genome-level processes (e.g. gene duplication, horizontal gene transfer, introgression) and natural selection have shaped the morphological, molecular, and phylogenetic diversity of plants. Ongoing projects include the evolution of floral scent in Onagraceae, the evolution of sexual systems in Schiedea (Caryophyllaceae), and the origin and genomic basis of heterotrophy in liverworts. Generally, all projects in the group address two common questions: What are the genomic signatures that coincide with the origin of fundamental life history traits, and what is the relationship between these processes/traits and diversification? To address these questions, we use a diversity of approaches, all with a heavy emphasis on using both gene and species phylogenies. We are currently offering a postdoctoral position for up to six years. This position is not funded by a third-party project and therefore allows the successful candidate to develop their own projects within the scientific framework of the Plant Phylogenomics Group or related areas. Of course, collaborating on and lending expertise to existing projects is also expected.

Candidates who have not yet completed their PhD studies but can demonstrate a date of completion prior to the start of this position will also be considered. A strong record of publication in journals related to plant systematics and plant comparative genomics Extensive wet-lab experience in plant genomics (preparation of genomic libraries for long-read sequencing etc.) Expertise in at least one lineage of land plants (i.e., a taxonomic focus) Experience with at least one coding language or a strong background in statistics Experience with high-performance computing in a Linux environment A record of presenting your research at scientific conferences Excellent knowledge of written and spoken English (C1) A commitment to collaboration and communication within a team What we offer: Work-life balance: Our employees enjoy flexible working hours, remote/hybrid and/or part-time work (upon agreement).
