POST-DOCTORAL POSITION: Behavioral Ecology/Evolutionary Biology Konrad Lorenz

Institute for Ethology of the Austrian Academy of Sciences, Vienna, Austria

We seek a highly motivated and interactive scientist to collaborate with Dr. Dustin Penn and his group on research focused on the evolution of genetic polymorphisms at MHC and olfactory receptor loci (this includes work on sexual selection and chemosensory communication, as well as host-pathogen interactions). Other research topics at the institute include sexual conflict, sperm competition, and post-copulatory mate choice. Applicants must have a strong background in either molecular genetics or population genetics, and some statistical expertise is preferred. Scientists are expected to write grants and help obtain extramural funds. Good English skills are necessary (our institute operates bilingually, and English is widely spoken in Vienna). The position is open to men and women likewise. It is for two to three years, depending upon progress, and the salary depends upon experience. Review of applications begins immediately and the deadline is April 15, 2005.

The Konrad Lorenz Institute for Ethology of the Austrian Academy of Sciences is located in the Vienna Woods, on the outskirts of Vienna. We work with a variety of vertebrates, including humans, and have good facilities, especially for studying fish and birds (see http://www.oeaw.ac.at/klivv/). We also interact with a number of other research groups in Vienna (see http://www.oeaw.ac.at/klivv/en/misc/links.html). To apply, please send (1) a CV, (2) copies of 2-3 publications, (3) a brief statement of research interests, (4) letters of reference via e-mail or regular mail to the address below.
