*Call for applications – 14 PhD positions at Kiel University*<br>
<br>
*Research Training School “Translational Evolutionary Research”*<br>
<br>
The *Research Training Group (RTG) “Translational Evolutionary Research” *is<br>
offering *up to 14 PhD positions (3 year and 2.5 months fixed-term<br>
positions, 65% TV-L, TV-ÖD E13)*. The graduate school aims at studying the<br>
relevance of evolutionary principles to applied problems. Unintended<br>
outcomes of human intervention often result from actions that influence<br>
natural selection. For example, the usage of antibiotics or anti-cancer<br>
drugs in medicine, of pesticides in agriculture, or human perturbation of<br>
the earth’s ecosystems directly change natural selection and thereby affect<br>
the evolution of organisms. Surprisingly, evolutionary concepts are only<br>
rarely used to improve our understanding of these applied challenges and to<br>
develop new sustainable solutions. The RTG will train PhD students in the<br>
competences to do so.<br>
<br>
This RTG is a joint initiative of Kiel University, the Max-Planck-Institute<br>
for Evolutionary Biology in Plön, the Helmholtz Center for Ocean Research<br>
Kiel (GEOMAR), the Research Center Borstel (Leibniz Lung Center), and the<br>
Max-Rubner-Institute Kiel. The RTG offers an internationally competitive<br>
research environment with state-of-the-art facilities. The participating<br>
groups use a variety of different methods, including evolutionary<br>
experimental, molecular, genomic, and theoretical approaches.<br>
<br>
The graduate program starts with a *rotation period of 2.5 months followed<br>
by a PhD project of three years* including seminars, courses and workshops.<br>
The language of the graduate school is English. Financial support is<br>
provided throughout the program. PhD projects are offered as tandem<br>
projects (i.e., two related PhD projects) and cover the following topics:<br>
<br>
*1) **Evolutionary management of harvested populations*<br>
<br>
*1.1 PI Thorsten Reusch: **Fisheries-induced evolution*<br>
<br>
*1.2 PI Martin Quaas: **Evolutionary fishery economics and management*<br>
<br>
*2) **Plant breeding and disease control*<br>
<br>
*2.1 PI Christian Jung: **Genetic analysis of leaf spot resistance*<br>
<br>
*2.2 PI Eva Stukenbrock: **Plant pathogen evolution on cultivated and wild<br>
plant hosts*<br>
<br>
*3) **Plasmid-mediated resistance spread in food production*<br>
<br>
*3.1 PI Tal Dagan: Plasmid evolution in the food industry*<br>
<br>
*3.2 PI Hildegard Uecker: Mathematical modeling of the evolution and spread<br>
of plasmid mediated antibiotic resistance*<br>
<br>
*4) **Evolution of human pathogens under antibiotic therapy*<br>
<br>
*4.1 PI Stefan Niemann: **Adaptation of Mtbc to antibiotic treatment*<br>
<br>
*4.2 PI Hinrich Schulenburg: **Efficacy of sequential therapy against<br>
clinical*Pseudomonas<br>
<br>
*5) **Fecal microbiota transplants in inflammatory bowel disease*<br>
<br>
*5.1 PI Charles Franz: **Relationship between Lactobacillus diversity and<br>
host FUT2 genotype*<br>
<br>
*5.2** PI John Baines: Evaluating** the gut microbiome for adaptation to<br>
host Fut2 genotype*<br>
<br>
*6) **Sex-specific link between fertility, pregnancy, and longevity*<br>
<br>
*6.1 PI Almut Nebel: **Late-life fertility and longevity in humans*<br>
<br>
*6.2 PI Olivia Roth: **Pregnancy/late-life fertility and longevity in<br>
sex-role reversed pipefish*<br>
<br>
*7) **Evolution of pancreatic cancer cells under chemotherapy*<br>
<br>
*7.1 PI Susanne Sebens: **Experimental analysis of the evolution of<br>
pancreatic cancer cells under chemotherapy*<br>
<br>
*7.2 PI Arne Traulsen: **Mathematical modelling of the evolution of<br>
pancreatic cancer cells under chemotherapy*<br>
<br>

<br>
Well-motivated and highly qualified students are welcome to apply. A Master<br>
of Science degree or a Diploma as well as a strong interest in Evolutionary<br>
Biology are prerequisites for entering the program. We are looking forward<br>
to your application for a PhD project in the beautiful landscape of<br>
Northern Germany.<br>
<br>
*The deadline for applications is August 15, 2019.*<br>
<br>
The selection week will be held from October 8 - 10.<br>
<br>
The program itself starts on December 1, 2019.<br>
<br>
*T*he university endeavours to increase the proportion of women in research<br>
and teaching and therefore urges appropriately qualified women to apply.<br>
Priority is given to women who have equal aptitude and professional<br>
performance.<br>
<br>
The university is committed to the employment of severely disabled people.<br>
For this reason, severely disabled applicants will be given preferential<br>
consideration if they are suitably qualified.<br>
<br>
We explicitly welcome applications from people with a migration background.<br>
<br>
Applications should include: a letter of motivation (max. 1 page),<br>
curriculum vitae, a list of max. 3 preferred PhD topics (from among the<br>
offered projects) plus a short explanation of the preferences (max. 1<br>
page), the names and addresses of 2 referees (who are familiar with the<br>
applicant's work).<br>
<br>
We explicitly ask you to refrain from submitting photographs/application<br>
photos.<br>
<br>
Please send the *application as a single PDF-file *by*August 15, 2019 *to:<br>
