>  
> My lab has openings for a Postdoc and a PhD position to study fundamental questions about how different types of balancing selection maintain adaptive polymorphisms in natural populations. 
>  
> The project will focus on studying polymorphic chromosomal inversions in the ancestral range of Drosophila melanogaster and how they are maintained by balancing selection; it will combine population genomic analyses, transcriptomics, phenotypic assays, population cage experiments, as well as field work. The Postdoc and PhD student will be embedded in a larger project team, involving a senior postdoc, a technician and several undergraduate students, as well as in close collaboration with our international project partners Rashidatu Abdulazeez (Ahmadu Bello University, Nigeria), Martin Kapun (Natural History Museum Vienna), Miyanda Moonga (University of Zambia), Paul Schmidt (University of Pennsylvania), John Pool (University of Wisconsin), and others.
>  
> The postdoc and PhD candidates should have a strong background in evolutionary biology and population genetics; ideally, they have prior experience with population genomic analyses and/or Drosophila evolutionary genetics. 
> 
> The starting date is flexible; both positions are funded for up to 4 years; salary information upon request.
>  
> I would be happy to chat informally about details with interested candidates; informal inquiries should please be sent to: thomas.flatt at unifr.ch <mailto:thomas.flatt at unifr.ch>. 
>  
> A pdf flyer of the job ad with further info is attached to this message.

> Thank you very much for your help, I appreciate it.
