This professorship is suitable for highly qualified early career researchers.

We are looking for candidates with an outstanding reputation in Theoretical Biology, working on modelling evolutionary and ecological processes. Especially invited are researchers studying biolog-ical interactions (e.g., evolution of cooperation/conflict, mutualisms/parasitism, multi-level selection, genic interactions). Close interactions and cooperation with existing groups of the University of Freiburg, including those with a molecular research focus, would be appreciated as would be active participation in establishing a Collaborative Research Center or a Graduate School on the topic “biological interactions”.

The professor will be a member of the Faculty of Biology and will represent the subjects Evolutionary Biology and Zoology in all its areas, including B.Sc., M.Sc., and Ph.D. studies. The professorship is co-responsible for the education of teacher students in the area of “Biodiversity & Ecology”. Further duties include participation in academic self-administration (according to § 46 i.V.m §2 Landeshochschulgesetz (State Law on Universities and Colleges). Prerequisites for the employment are a university degree, an outstanding dissertation and an excellent publication record. This position is a fixed term role of four years.
