Postdoctoral Position in Bacterial Population Genomics and MGE Dynamics

The lab of Professor Martin Polz at the University of Vienna will soon have an opening for a postdoctoral position in computational biology. The research project centers on bacterial population genomics, with a particular emphasis on the dynamics of mobile genetic elements (MGEs). This opportunity is ideal for candidates interested in microbial evolution, population genomics, and computational approaches to understanding microbial ecology. The lab is internationally recognized for its work in the evolution and ecology of microbes, offering a stimulating environment for postdoctoral research. Applicants should have a strong background in computational biology and genomics, particularly as applied to bacteria and MGEs. While specific funding details are not provided, interested candidates are encouraged to contact Professor Polz directly to discuss the position and their qualifications. The University of Vienna provides a vibrant academic setting in Austria, and the Polz lab is engaged in cutting-edge research at the intersection of biology and computational science. Prospective applicants should reach out by email to express their interest and provide relevant background information. Please note that the application window will open in a couple of months, so early expressions of interest are welcome.
