The Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology is one of the leading institutions investigating the evolution of humankind. Located in Leipzig (Germany), we unite scientists with diverse backgrounds who work together to gain insights into the human past. The Department of Archaeogenetics utilizes the recent advances in generating genome-wide ancient DNA data to uncover an entirely new spectrum of information retrievable from anthropological and archaeological collections. This data unlocks fascinating insights into genetic relationships, geographical origin, selective processes, or genetic structure of historic and prehistoric human, plant, animal, or pathogen populations. The position will be part of the computational population genetics research group led by Harald Ringbauer. It is supported by the ERC Starting grant EPIDEMIC. You will develop and apply powerful population genetic tools and pioneer linking medieval and modern genomes using shared haplotypes (IBD segments) to study historic European population structure.
