> As a member of the DNFS (Deutsche Naturwissenschaftliche
> Forschungssammlungen e.V.), the State Museum of Natural History Karlsruhe
> (SMNK) is one of the largest research museums and collections in Germany
> and presents permanent and special exhibitions on over 5000 m², including
> the largest living coral reef in Germany. With extensive analog and
> digital offerings, it attracts more than 200,000 visitors every year. As
> a nationally and internationally active research museum in the fields of
> geosciences and biosciences, the museum enjoys recognition far beyond
> the region. The SMNK has a well-developed research infrastructure with
> molecular laboratories and imaging facilities. Based on its extensive
> collections and the taxonomic expertise of its curators, the museum is
> also an important point of contact for the general public, schools and
> the press interested in plant, fungal and animal species in south-western
> Germany and for experts in the region, as well as a cooperation partner
> for national and international institutes.

> The Natural History Museum Karlsruhe is looking for a Postdoc for
> environmental DNA (eDNA) research on bees, 100%, limited to 2.5 years,
> at Naturkundemuseum Karlsruhe, Karlsruhe, Germany, starting 1.4.2024
> 
> We are living in a biodiversity crisis of unprecedented extend. Many
> species are on the brink of extinction and important ecosystem services
> are at risk, including pollination. Pollinators and their interactions
> are the focus of the Beenergia project. In particular, the conflict
> between managed pollinators, especially honey bees, and wild bees
> will be investigated. In a multidisciplinary consortium, Beenergia
> aims to understand the ecological balance between commercial and wild
> pollinators, assess threats and develop solutions that ensure both
> pollinator protection and food security.
> 
> This subproject aims to develop innovative methods for gentle sampling
> and monitoring of wild bees based on molecular methods.  Therefore, we
> are looking for a committed, motivated, communicative and team-oriented
> person with a strong interest in molecular ecology and sequencing methods
> to participate in developing eDNA-based methods for the detection and
> monitoring of pollinators in cooperation with the project partners in
> Germany and Switzerland and to test them in field trials.
> 
> We expect:
> - PhD in biology, or similar disciplines with a focus on biodiversity,
>  ecology or evolutionary biology
> - In-depth knowledge of eDNA methods and various sequencing techniques
> - Interest in the realization and testing of prototypes
> - Basic knowledge of bees and wild bees and their ecology
> - Good language skills in English (project language)
> - Bioinformatics knowledge is a plus
> 
> We offer
> - Payment will be in EG 13 TV-L
> - dynamic collaboration in an international team
> - the opportunity to work at a nationally renowned research museum with
>  recognized collections and an attractive exhibition
> - a workplace in the center of Karlsruhe, with excellent public
>  transport connections to several attractive natural areas and the
>  Black Forest National Park
> - flexible work time and family-friendly working hours (39.5 h/week);
>  possibility of mobile working
> - participation in company health management, job ticket and job bike
>  subsidized by the state of Baden-Württemberg
