## Description

There is an exciting opportunity for a talented and motivated applicant to join the working group of Prof. Dr. Axel Janke. The applicant will be closely involved in gene flow, evolutionary, population or phylo-genetics to study speciation in mammals (bears, giraffe, kangaroos or allies) at the genomic level and in MSc and BSc teaching. Strong own and proven research interests including other vertebrate groups will be considered.

 * Conduct genomic research on mammalian evolution and speciation, including evolutionary, population and phylogenomic analyses
 * Investigate phylogenetic relationships, gene flow and genomic signatures of evolutionary and environmental processes using genomic and bioinformatic approaches
 * Apply and further develop bioinformatic methods for the analysis of genomic data, including population genomics, genome assembly and species distribution modelling
 * Organise and teach university courses and supervise BSc and MSc theses
 * Independently prepare and publish research results in peer-reviewed journals and contribute to the acquisition of third-party funding
