The research group "Biological Clocks" at the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Biology aims to uncover the molecular basis of circalunar clocks. We use the intertidal midge Clunio marinus (Diptera) as a model organism and apply methods ranging from molecular biology and evolutionary genomics to behavioral experiments and ecological field work. The institute is looking for a Postdoctoral Fellow to explore the role of cell signaling in the circalunar clock.
