2 POSTDOC positions
2020-02-26
PostDOC positions - starting date around JULY 2020
We are advertising two PostDoc positions. Both positions are fully funded, 2 year 100% research contracts. The first position is linked to characterization of the recombination landscape in wood whites (Leptidea sp.) and investigating the molecular underpinnings and evolutionary consequences of recombination rate variation. The second position is linked to investigating the cost-benefit balance of migratory insects in general and the molecular basis of migratory behavior in painted ladies (Vanessa cardui) in particular.

Welcome to apply! PS. APPLICATION DEADLINE IS 10 APRIL 2020.
