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. Your tasks: Independent coordination of sample processing in large international projects with several hundred or thousands of individuals; Sample documentation, and contamination-free sampling and processing of highly sensitive pre/historic archaeological human, animal and plant remains; Planning and executing complex molecular genetic experiments inside clean room facilities (optional automated DNA extraction and single-stranded DNA library preparation for Illumina Next Generation sequencing, operating the pipetting robots).
