> *PhD position - Local adaptation to high elevation habitats in the honey
> bee Apis mellifera*
> 
> Application deadline: 15.02. 2021
> 
> We invite applications from highly motivated candidates with the passion
> for and experience in animal population genetic analyses. Specifically,
> we will investigate the molecular mechanism underlying the local
> adaptation to high elevations habitats in the honey bee. Of particular
> interest here are chromosomal inversions on two chromosomes identified
> previously that have shifted to high frequency on different haplotypes of
> otherwise lowly differentiated chromosomes between highland and lowland
> populations. Funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG), the project
> will be performed in close cooperation with Prof. Ricarda Scheiner
> (University Würzburg), a second doctorate candidate and partners in
> East Africa.
> 
> Of particular relevance for the announced PhD position will be
> the in-depth analyses of honey bee genomes and transcriptomes, thus
> experiences in bioinformatics and a background from a population genetic
> lab is advantageous. Further, we will use CRISPR/Cas9 method to understand
> the role of selected candidate genes, thus organismic and molecular work
> is included.
> 
> We offer: DFG-funded PhD position (65% TV-L E13) for the duration of
> 3 years, work with up-to-date methodologies in a stimulating, friendly
> and international atmosphere. This work includes a field-trip to East
> Africa and research visits at the University Würzburg.
> 
> Embedded in an attractive and green environment, the University Hohenheim
> combines the advantages of a small campus area with the close vicinity
> to Stuttgart as lively and cultural centre.
> 
> Your Profile:	M.Sc. degree (or equivalent) in Evolutionary
> Genetics/Populations Genetics/Biology
> 			strong interest and proven skills in molecular
> 			genetic techniques/genome analyses strong interest
> 			in evolutionary/population genetic questions
> 			strong communication skills (including English)
> 
> Starting date: as soon as possible
> 
> Please send your application including a cover letter detailing
> your motivation and research interests, detailed CV and two
> references by email (as a single pdf) to Prof. Dr. Martin Hasselmann,
