The University of Vienna is a cosmopolitan hub for more than 10,000 employees, of whom around 7,500 work in research and teaching. Your future position is at the Department of Botany and Biodiversity Research in the Plant Phylogenomics Group within the Division of Systematic and Evolutionary Botany. Research in the group focuses on how genome-level processes (e.g. gene duplication, horizontal gene transfer, introgression) and natural selection have shaped the morphological, molecular, and phylogenetic diversity of plants. Ongoing projects include the evolution of floral scent in Onagraceae, the evolution of sexual systems in Schiedea (Caryophyllaceae), and the origin and genomic basis of heterotrophy in liverworts. This postdoctoral position is offered for up to six years and is not funded by a third-party project, allowing the successful candidate to develop their own projects within the scientific framework of the Plant Phylogenomics Group or related areas.

- Experience with high-performance computing in a Linux environment
- A record of presenting your research at scientific conferences
- Excellent knowledge of written and spoken English (C1)
