Postdoc Positions in Comparative Genomics: The Hiller Lab at the LOEWE Center for Translational Biodiversity Genomics (TBG) in Frankfurt, Germany is offering two openings for a PhD student and/or a Postdoc to work on the BATPROTECT project. This project aims to investigate the genomic basis of long healthspans, disease resistance, and viral tolerance in bats.
PhD and Postdoc Positions in Comparative Genomics
- Designation: PhD student and Postdoc
- Research Area: Comparative Genomics, Computational Genetics, Bioinformatics
- Location: Frankfurt am Main, Germany
- Eligibility/Qualification:
- For PhD position: Candidates should possess a relevant Master’s degree.
- For Postdoc position: Candidates should hold a PhD degree in a related field.
- Proficiency in English is required.
- Job Description: The successful candidates will be part of the BATPROTECT project, focusing on assembling new reference-quality bat genomes using advanced sequencing techniques and analyzing comparative transcriptomic datasets to uncover the genomic basis of exceptional healthspans and disease tolerance in bats. The work also involves phylogenomics, comparative screenings, and identifying key molecular targets for functional validation.
