  <description><![CDATA[
<p>In the Genomic Microbiology Group of Prof. Tal Dagan at the Institute<br />of Microbiology at Kiel University, Germany, a</p>

<p>Postdoc position (m/w/d)</p>

<p>in the field of computational evolutionary microbiology is available<br />for an initially limited period of 36 months at the earliest possible<br />date. The weekly working time corresponds to 100% of full employment<br />(If the legal requirements under collective bargaining law are met, the<br />tariff grouping is carried out up to pay scale 13 TV-L. The obligation<br />to teach amounts to 4 hours.</p>

<p>The Genomic Microbiology Group research interests are focused on<br />microbial genome evolution with an emphasis on the study of lateral gene<br />transfer. In our research we use both computational and experimental<br />approaches (see www.uni-kiel.de/genomik). The position offers the<br />opportunity to develop an independent research profile within the group<br />research focus. The successful applicant is expected to be involved<br />in teaching of bioinformatics and molecular evolution, including the<br />development of teaching materials (lectures/exercises/short videos).</p>

<p>Your profile:<br />· Doctoral or PhD degree in Molecular Evolution, Bioinformatics or<br />related fields.<br />· Knowledge and experience in programming (e.g., Python) and<br />biostatistical analysis (e.g., with R or MatLab).<br />· Any of the following expertise is an advantage: the analysis of<br />genomic or transcriptomic data, phylogenetic reconstruction,<br />comparative genomics.<br />· Good oral and written communication skills in English.<br />· Ability to teach in German is an advantage (alternatively, an<br />indication to do so from the 2nd year on).<br />· Skills and motivation to communicate and interact with other<br />scientists.<br /> <br />The Christian-Albrechts-University sees itself as a modern and<br />cosmopolitan employer. We welcome your application regardless of your age,<br />gender, cultural and social background, religion, ideology, disability<br />or sexual identity. We promote equality of the sexes.</p>

<p>The Christian-Albrechts-University is committed to the employment of<br />people with disabilities. Preference will be given to applications from<br />severely handicapped persons and persons of equal standing, provided<br />they are suitable.</p>

<p>We expressly welcome applications from people with a migration background.</p>

<p>For enquiries regarding the position, teaching obligations and research<br />topic please contact Prof. Tal Dagan: tdagan@ifam.uni-kiel.de.</p>

<p>Applications should be submitted by email to Mrs. Haacks<br />(dhaacks@ifam.uni-kiel.de) as a single PDF and include: (1) a letter of<br />motivation (max 1 page, Arial 11, line spacing 1.15), (2) CV, (3) PhD<br />certificate. Please use 'GMG postdoc application - [your name]'<br />as a subject.</p>

<p>Please, refrain from sending us application photos.</p>

<p>Application deadline:  August 31 2021 or until the position is<br />filled. Interviews will take place during September/October 2021. The<br />planned starting date for the position is flexible (but in 2021).</p>
