The Max-Planck-Institute for Neurobiology of Behaviour – caesar (MPINB) is a neuroethology institute located in Bonn that studies how the collective activity of the vast numbers of interconnected neurons in the brain gives rise to the plethora of animal behaviors. Our research spans a large range of scales from the nano-scale imaging of brain circuitry, to large-scale functional imaging of brain circuitry during behavior, to the quantification of natural animal behaviors. The Research Group “Genetics of Behavior” is conducting research on the evolution of behavioural diversity and the genetic, molecular and neuronal changes driving these events. To do this we concentrate on the evolution of predation and kin-recognition behaviors found in the roundworm species Pristionchus pacificus and compare this to the microbial feeding species Caenorhaditis elegans. To support our research we are looking for a Postdoc (m/f/div) Genetics of Behavior The contract will be initially limited until 31.01.2026. The Project Several research projects are available covering areas including identifying the genetic and molecular mechanisms generating nematode predatory and kin-recognition behaviours and determining the influence of developmental plasticity on P. pacificus behavioural adaptations and neuronal connectivity. Your qualifications - A PhD in neuroscience, molecular biology, evolution and ecology, or related fields. - Interest in neurogenetics and investigating the influence of evolution on behavioural adaptations. - Prior experience with nematode genetics, molecular biology, and light microscopy would be beneficial. - Some knowledge of at least one programming language for data analysis would be advantageous. - Interest developing new methods and tools for emerging model systems.
