Postdoc marine evolutionary physiology (University Assistant)

Active participation in research and teaching, which means:

• You analyse phenotypic responses of mytilid mussels to heat stress and understand what physiological mechanisms enable longer tolerance of heat waves in intertidal habitats, also considering potential trade-offs
• You cooperate with evolutionary genomicists and ecologists to link phenotypes and biotic interactions in the field to genotypes
• You participate in field sampling campaigns and lead experimental studies
• You lead and participate in scientific publications in peer-reviewed journals and presentations at international meetings.
• You write proposals to obtain additional funds from FWF, EU and other funding agencies and establish your own line of research
• [...]

You must have:

• Ph.D. in animal physiology, zoology, marine ecology or related field
• Excellent whole animal and cellular physiology lab skills
• Excellent molecular biology lab skills
• At least one peer-reviewed publication in marine animal physiology as first author
• Good bioinformatic skills and willingness to embrace novel bioinformatic approaches to analyse large datasets

Desirable skills:

• Supervision and teaching experience
• Experience with mollusc physiology, cell biology and immunology
• Experience with field work in intertidal habitats
