> The research focus of the department under the direction of Prof. Dr. Susanne Foitzik lays within evolutionary biology and behavioral ecology of social insects. Our international research team consists of four groups working on the evolution, behavior, transcriptomics, chemical ecology of social insects (https://www.blogs.uni-mainz.de/fb10-evolutionary-biology/research-groups/ <https://www.blogs.uni-mainz.de/fb10-evolutionary-biology/research-groups/>) <http://www.bio.uni-mainz.de/zoo/evobio/index_ENG.php> and collaboration with the other groups at the department are desirable. Scientific interactions or integration within the Research Training Group „Gene regulation in Evolution” (https://www.imb.de/about-imb/joint-research-initiatives/genevo/ <https://www.imb.de/about-imb/joint-research-initiatives/genevo/>) would be advantageous.
>  
> We are seeking a highly motivated young researcher with a strong background in evolution, behavior and / or genomics to establish a junior research group within the Department of Behavioral Ecology and Social Evolution. Candidates must hold a Ph.D. and postdoctoral experience is necessary. The successful candidate should address evolutionary, behavioral ecological or genomic questions on insects, preferentially social insects. Scientific experience with the newest genetic methods (e.g. Next-Gen Seq, transcriptomics, Genomics, Proteomics. Microbiome, Metabolomics) including bioinformatic analyses is advantageous.
>  
> Excellent research conditions are available at new Biocenter I of the JGU with “State of the Art” genetic and chemical laboratories in Mainz. Furthermore, several new climate chambers are available for animal maintenance and controlled experiments. A small start-up package may be possible. A NextGen sequencing facility is available on campus. For further information, please contact foitzik at uni-mainz.de <mailto:foitzik at uni-mainz.de>.   
>   
> The successful candidate should have an excellent publication record. Experience with grant acquisition and teaching is advantageous. The candidate should set-up an independent, competitive research group and is encouraged to apply for grants in Germany or the EU (e.g., DFG, ERC). The position comes with a teaching requirement of 4 h per week during the semester in the Master and Bachelor programs. The candidate has the option to acquire a “Habilitation”. The working language of the lab is English.
