Postdoctoral Researcher in Evolutionary Genetics
80 % The Evolutionary Genetics Group (Evolutionary Genetics Group) at the Department of Evolutionary Anthropology at the University of Zurich, is seeking a highly motivated Postdoctoral Researcher to join our dynamic and collaborative group, which focuses on advancing our understanding of evolutionary processes through genomic analyses, with a particular emphasis on dolphins and orangutans. We combine important questions in classical behavioral ecology (cooperation, culture, drivers of social structure) with genomic approaches (eDNA, aDNA, full genome sequencing), dedicated to unraveling the genetic mechanisms driving adaptation and diversity in non-human populations.
Your responsibilities The successful candidate will play a key role in conducting evolutionary genomic analyses, utilizing existing genomic data from orangutans and dolphins (Shark Bay Dolphins). The position requires expertise in handling and analyzing large scale genomic data and proficiency in coding languages (Python, Bash, R). The researcher will actively contribute to ongoing projects and collaborate closely with team members.
Your profile
  • PhD in Evolutionary Genomics or a related field
  • Expertise in handling and analyzing large scale genomic data
  • Proficiency in coding languages: Python, Bash, and R
  • Strong analytical and problem-solving skills
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills
  • Ability to work independently and collaboratively

Renowned for its academic excellence and commitment to innovation, the university provides a vibrant, diverse, and inclusive academic environment. The Department of Evolutionary Anthropology fosters interdisciplinary research and collaboration, offering state-of-the-art facilities and a supportive community for scientific exploration. The position is initially for two years but could potentially be extended depending on the acquisition of additional funding.
Place of work Zurich, Switzerland
Start of employment Starting date of the position is 1 August 2024. Applications should be submitted by 15 June 2024. To apply, please send a motivation letter, CV, a copy of the PhD certificate and contact information for at least two references in one single document.
