Subject: UAM-Poznan, Poland. PhD position in butterfly phylogeography and
adaptation using genomics
To: YETI <meet.yeti@xxxxxxxxx>
* We are looking a PhD student on the research project “Success of a
widespread butterfly: Local adaptation or phenotypic plasticity?” funded by
the National Science Centre (NCN, Poland). The aim of the project is to
determine how the widespread butterfly Melanitis leda (L.) (Nymphalidae:
Satyrinae) has colonized its range and adapted to varying climates and
habitats. You would gather butterfly genome samples from collaborators,
perform DNA extraction, data management, data analysis, and MS writing, and
participate in conferences. You could also carry out a laboratory
experiment on seasonal phenotypic plasticity (in India). You will receive
training in genome analysis from Vicencio Oostra (Queen Mary University,
London) and attend training courses. We are looking for candidates with an
MSc in Biology, a demonstrated interest in evolutionary ecology and
molecular genetics, and preferably with programming experience (e.g. R,
Python). Strong interpersonal skills and a good level of English are also
important. The Adam Mickiewicz University is among the best institutes in
evolutionary biology and ecology in Poland and you would be part of an
international team of experts with complementary skills. The doctoral
school includes coursework and requires some hours of teaching practice.
The stipend of 5000 PLZ per month (gross) is comfortable in Poland, and
Poznan is a pleasant city. If interested, please send your CV with a cover
letter, a (draft) publication or report, and the names and e-mail addresses
of two references to fremol@xxxxxxxxxx <fremol@xxxxxxxxxx>. Please add
a signed consent clause in your application: ‘’I hereby give consent for my
personal data included in my application to be processed for the purposes
of the recruitment process under the Regulation (EU) 2016/679 of the
European Parliament and of the Council of 27 April 2016 on the protection
of natural persons with regard to the processing of personal data and on
the free movement of such data, and repealing Directive 95/46/EC (General
Data Protection Regulation). Successful candidates will be subject to the
recruitment to the Doctoral School of Natural Sciences at the Adam
Mickiewicz University. Best apply before June 27th. Sincerely, Freerk
