Doctoral Research Associate in Evolutionary Biology | Biologe (m/w/d)

Job Summary

This doctoral position at the University of Münster offers a unique opportunity to bridge evolutionary ecology with human reproductive health. As a Doctoral Research Associate within the DFG-funded Collaborative Research Centre 'Principles of Reproduction', you will investigate the role of the Major Histocompatibility Complex (MHC) in fertilization and infertility. Your day-to-day work involves genetic analysis and manipulation of stickleback MHC using CRISPR-Cas technology, conducting experiments on spermatogenesis and gamete interaction, and analyzing human whole exome sequencing (WES) datasets. The role is highly collaborative, involving partnerships with the Institute of Integrative Cell Biology and Physiology and external experts. This position is ideal for researchers seeking a multidisciplinary environment that combines molecular biology, functional genomics, and bioinformatics. The University provides a supportive atmosphere with flexible working models, family services, and extensive professional development opportunities within a vibrant academic community.
