[BBC] Postdoc Position in Berlin on Human Evolution

[Katja Nowick]

*Dear all,*

*We are looking for a postdoc who is interested in Human Evolution. The 
position can be for a bioinformatician:*

*Our group “Human Biology and primate Evolution“ investigates the 
molecular evolution of humans using state-of-the art experimental and 
computational methods. Our focus is on differences in gene regulation, 
evolution of transcription factors and non-coding RNAs and their 
influence on the evolution of the human brain, its development and 
functions. *

*The postdoc position is fully funded. The applicant is expected to 
propose and develop a research project that fits to the general 
interests of the group. Requirements for the position are a Dr. rer. 
nat. or PhD in Biology or Bioinformatics or another relevant field. The 
ideal candidate would have a strong interest in human evolution and 
expertise within multiple of the following areas: conducting research 
with induced pluripotent stem cells, differentiation into neuronal 
cells, CRISPR/Cas9, functional investigation of transcription factors 
and non-coding RNAs, ChIP-Seq, ChIRP-Seq, RNA-Seq, gene regulatory 
networks, computational analysis of –omics data, R, Python, network 
analysis.*

*She/he will participate in teaching “Human Biology” (in German) as well 
as in “Human Evolution” and/or “Bioinformatics for Biologists” (in 
English). The position allows for supervising Bachelor and Master 
students as well as for applying for own funding, and is thus a good 
opportunity for acquiring necessary experience for applying for faculty 
positions afterward. It is initially for three years but can be extended 
to up to six years. Scientific communication within the group is in 
English.*

*If interested, please send a motivation letter including your project 
idea along with your CV and two reference letters to 
*katja.nowick at fu-berlin.de <mailto:katja.nowick at fu-berlin.de>*.*

*Best wishes,*

*Katja
