The research group "Biological Clocks" at the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Biology is working at the intersection of evolutionary biology, ecology and biological time-keeping. We have a set of >1000 genomes of the intertidal midge Clunio marinus (Diptera: Chironomidae). Recently, we have expanded our focus to the evolution, ecology and conservation of other species of the genus Clunio, as well as other chironomids.
In the context of these emerging new projects, we are looking for a Postdoctoral Fellow (m/f/d) in Evolutionary Genomics, Comparative Genomics and/or Conservation Genomics.
