About this position

The Institute of Evolution and Ecology at the University of Tübingen is seeking a postdoctoral researcher in genetic diversity. The position is available as soon as possible and is limited to two years, with a possible extension depending on funding availability. The successful candidate will develop and test cross-species metrics of genetic diversity using both empirical and simulated genetic data, applied to a unique large-scale dataset on plant genetic diversity in grasslands and forests. This project is part of the collaborative BEGenDiv initiative, involving partners at the Universities of Freiburg and Marburg and the Helmholtz Centre for Environmental Research (UFZ) in Halle, within the DFG-funded Biodiversity Exploratories. The postdoc project is jointly supervised by Oliver Bossdorf and Henri Thomassen.

Applicants should have a strong background in population genetics/genomics, molecular ecology, biodiversity informatics, or a related field. Experience with large-scale data analysis is essential, and additional expertise in macrogenetics, population genetic simulations, or data synthesis is advantageous. The research environment is highly supportive and collaborative, with access to internationally recognized networks and newly funded Clusters of Excellence GreenRobust and TERRA, including the TERRA Molecular Biodiversity Lab. The University of Tübingen is committed to equity and diversity, actively promoting equal opportunities and welcoming applications from women and individuals with disabilities.

To apply, submit a motivation letter, CV, and contact details of at least two referees as a single PDF to [email protected]. For informal inquiries, contact [email protected] or [email protected]. The application deadline is 30 April 2026.
