The University of Vienna and the Department of Evolutionary Anthropology provide an innovative working environment of interdisciplinary and international scientists.

The scientific abstract of the funded project describes the scope and approach as follows:

Research questions:
How is the RNA virome of great apes composed and changing over time? Can we get genetic information on these disease agents over time from dried specimens?

Intended approaches and research design:

Historical great ape specimens (both dried and in liquid) across several decades will be sampled, target enrichment for RNA virus sequences and deep sequencing performed, followed by bioinformatic screening and phylogenetic reconstruction.


Expected results:
To reveal unknown strains and new variation in known strains in great apes.

This may lead to a novel path into studies of virus evolution in many species - or at least prove that virus RNA is indeed not preserved.


Further responsibilities include participation in scientific publications and in international conferences, as well as independent research activities and administrative tasks.

Active participation in research, teaching and administration. Publications and presentations. Involvement in public outreach. Supervision of trainees and students

Profile:

The position requires a PhD in a biological field, and a convincing publication record. Programming skills in python, R, or a similar environment are necessary. The scientific working language is English. German language skills are not necessary.
