TWO POSTDOC POSITIONS - molecular evolution, genomics or bioinformatics At the University of Konstanz we expect to have two postdoc positions available starting on April 1, 2008 in the lab of Prof. Axel Meyer at the Department of Evolutionary Biology and Zoology at the University of Konstanz in Germany.
Due to the funding of the University of Konstanz through the "excellence initiative" of the German government we are in the process of establishing a genomics/proteomics center at the university that will include microarray facilities and second generation sequencing technologies. Therefore, we are particularly interested in postdocs with expertise in molecular evolution, molecular phylogenetics and bioinformatics. We expect that a "junior professorship" in bioinformatics will be advertised shortly as well.
These positions are affiliated with the new graduate school in chemical biology - for more information visit http://www.chembiol .uni-konstanz. de/. For this new program we invite applications of qualified Masters students as well as Ph.D. candidates.
The postdoc projects we are interested in have to do with fish genomics and in particular comparative genomics of cichlid fish. Other projects deal with the evolution of gene families the evolution of the genome in early chordates and vertebrates. Candidates should have a strong interest in bioinformatics, developmental and evolutionary biology and should be experienced in molecular techniques and/or computational biology.
Appointments are for up to two years initially with a salary according to German TVL salary scale that includes extensive health and retirement benefits. The initial contract period would be for two years with the potential for additional years of funding. Informal inquiries should be addressed to Prof. Axel Meyer (axel.meyer@uni- konstanz. de).

For publications see http://www.evolutionsbiolo gie.uni-konstanz .de/index. php?sectionQ Applications should include a CV, statement of research interests and email addresses of two references. Review of applications will commence on March 15th
2008. Starting dates are flexible. Applications should be sent as one pdf file to axel.meyer@uni- konstanz. de - or by mail to Prof. Axel Meyer, Department of Biology, University of Konstanz, D-78457 Konstanz, Germany.
This search will remain open until the positions are filled. -- Prof. Axel Meyer, Ph.D. Lehrstuhl für Zoologie und Evolutionsbiologie Department of Biology Building M, Room M806 University of Konstanz 78457 Konstanz Germany fon + 49 7531 88 4163 fax + 49 7531 88 3018 secretary: Ingrid.Bader@ uni-konstanz. de tel. + 49 7531 88 3069
