Your personal sphere of play:
The Wanninger Lab is hiring a Postdoc in Invertebrate Evolution with a focus on either comparative morphology, EvoDevo, or phylogenomics. We are a dynamic, international group situated in the recently built University of Vienna Biology Building (UBB) with new labs to perform top-notch molecular, morphological, and -omics related research. Additional infrastructure includes animal care facilities to maintain and rear aquatic and terrestrial animals as well as access to sequencing facilities, high-end computer clusters, and an imaging and electron microscopy core facility.
Research in our group covers diverse invertebrate lineages, with particular strengths in spiralian taxa. The successful candidate is expected to work on mollusks, a core target taxon of our lab for which a wide range of molecular resources and established lab protocols are available. Previous experience with these animals is not required, but candidates should have a strong interest in working with little-investigated, aquatic, non-model invertebrate animals.
The position offers substantial intellectual freedom for developing an independent research profile within the lab’s broader focus. Projects may address questions in evolutionary developmental biology, morphological evolution, comparative genomics, or other related topics, depending on the candidate’s interests. The postdoc will work within an active research group and will have opportunities for collaboration with current team members on ongoing and emerging projects.
The position is available immediately. While we aim for a start date at around May 1st, 2026, this is somewhat flexible and can be negotiated with the PI. The position is fully funded for six years.
