Job Description:
PhD student positions in Bacterial Genomics/Human Population GeneticsMax Planck Institute for the Science of Human HistoryArchaeogeneticsGermany-Jena The Archaeogenetics department at the Max Planck Institute for the Science of Human History in Jena, Germany, is offering multiple PhD positions beginning October 2015. The overarching research topic at the institute is the use of novel scientific approaches from high throughput sequencing of ancient DNA from human populations and their pathogens to explore research questions related to human history, gene-culture coevolution, and adaptation to infectious disease. The main foci are the relationship between humans and pathogens through time, population migrations and dynamics on a historical time-scale, and microbial evolution.
The institute hosts a multi-disciplinary research team and is looking for students from a variety of backgrounds.
The main focus for students of bioinformatics or computer science would be in pathogenomics and bacterial genome evolution or human population genetics.
Students holding a Master’s degree (or equivalent) with a proven record of success in their discipline and a genuine interest in examining questions related to human history are encouraged to apply.
