The Archaeogenetics department at the Max Planck Institute for the Science of Human History in Jena, Germany, is offering up to 10 PhD positions beginning as early as Fall 2018. The overarching research topic at the institute is the use of novel scientific approaches from high throughput sequencing of ancient DNA from human populations, their pathogens, and their beneficial microbes to explore research questions related to human history, migrations, gene-culture coevolution, microbiome evolution, and adaptation to infectious disease.

The institute hosts a multi-disciplinary research team and is looking for students from a variety of backgrounds including, but not restricted to, molecular biology, bioinformatics, microbiology, chemistry, biochemistry, mathematics, physics, computer science, anthropology and archaeology. Students holding a Master’s degree (or equivalent) with a proven record of success in their discipline and a genuine interest in examining questions related to human history are encouraged to apply.

Deadline for applications is the 15th of March 2018.
