PhD Position: Exploring Flatworm Speciation and Biodiversity in the African Great Lakes100%, Starting date 1.9.2025Dr. Jeremias Brand's research group at the University of Basel offers a PhD position to study flatworm biodiversity in the African Great Lakes.Adaptive radiations-characterized by rapid speciation and remarkable morphological diversity-are key drivers of biodiversity on our planet. Ecological opportunities such as the colonization of new environments like islands or lakes often trigger adaptive radiations. Yet a fundamental question remains unanswered: Why do some lineages radiate while closely related ones do not?This project investigates this evolutionary puzzle by studying Macrostomum flatworm in the African Great Lakes. While cichlid fishes in these lakes represent one of biology's most celebrated examples of an adaptive radiation, we have recently uncovered evidence that tiny flatworms have undergone a parallel but independent radiation in the same waters. This project represents the first investigation of an adaptive radiation in free-living flatworms and will substantially contribute to understanding why speciation occurs in certain lineages but not others.Your positionThe project brings together two complementary research areas:Speciation ResearchConduct fieldwork along lake shores in Zambia and Tanzania to collect flatworm samplesUse phylogenetic and population genetic approaches to study speciation patternsIdentify and describe new species, contributing to biodiversity researchInvestigate the role of two contrasting mating systems on speciation ratesMeiofauna EcologyStudy the role of Macrostomum flatworms in sediment ecosystemsUse stable isotope analysis to explore their position in the food webExamine morphological adaptations to sediment environments using confocal microscopyAnalyze population structures to understand biodiversity patternsYour profileEssential RequirementsMSc in Biology, Evolutionary Biology, Ecology, or a related fieldFluency in spoken and written EnglishStrong motivation to develop as a scientistWillingness to conduct regular multi-week field expeditions in East AfricaPreferred ExperienceKnowledge of evolutionary biology conceptsExperience with phylogenetics or genomicsFamiliarity with stable isotope analysisExperience with confocal microscopy or automated image analysisPrevious fieldwork experienceWe offer youFull-time (100%) PhD position with a salary of 47,040-55,000 CHF per yearFunding secured for 4 years via a competitive Swiss National Science Foundation Ambizione grant awarded to Dr. Jeremias Brand.Training in evolutionary biology, phylogenetics, and molecular techniquesField research in East Africa, with the opportunity to contribute to fundamental questions in biodiversity scienceDynamic research environment in Basel, with connections to the Biozentrum, ETH Zurich, and the Swiss Institute of BioinformaticsRegular seminars with international researchersBasel is a vibrant academic city at the border of Switzerland, Germany, and France.

PostDoc in History (or related discipline, 80%)SNSF Consolidator Grant project ?The Battle of Materials: Commodity 'Research and Propaganda' and the Road to Immoderate Consumption, 1900-1980"The Europainstitut / Institute for European Global Studies (EIB) of the University of Basel, founded in 1993, analyses the relationships of Switzerland and Europe in a globally connected world through research and teaching. As an interdisciplinary institution, it combines expertise from political science, economics, philosophy, history and law. The University of Basel has an international reputation of outstanding achievements in research and teaching. Founded in 1460, the University of Basel is the oldest university in Switzerland and has a history of success going back over 550 years.The institute invites applications for a postdoctoral position as part of the SNSF Consolidator Grant project ?The Battle of Materials: Commodity 'Research and Propaganda' and the Road to Immoderate Consumption, 1900-1980", led by incoming Prof. Dr. Moritz von Brescius (Principal Investigator, PI). The project is funded by the Swiss National Science Foundation (SNSF). Project start is on September 1, 2025 or by mutual agreement.The Consolidator Grant project examines the key processes, actors and cultural accommodations that drove unprecedented levels of natural resource consumption in industrial societies in the 20th century. Offering an innovative new material history of tropical and synthetic rubber and other industrial materials, the project explores the transformative practices that industrial research & development brought to the twentieth-century marketplace and the world economy as a whole. The team will address various aspects of resource overuse and the ways in which consumer expectations and material path dependencies have evolved as a key part of the ?Great Acceleration" of human impacts on the global environment.Your positionThe postdoc project relates to work package 2 of the project: ?Commodity Waste, Toxicity, and the Circular Economy". This project addresses the issue of commodity waste management and particularly recycling as a means of maintaining resource consumption at maximum levels even during supply shocks. The project will use the model of the circular economy to analyze what happened with modern consumer products and the huge industrial waste of hardly biodegradable scrap in times of both war and peace. It tackles the history of large international recycling industries since 1900 (esp. rubber) that navigated shifting global conjunctures of scarcity (as during military conflicts) and periods of material abundance and price slumps. Reuse and reprocessing are explored as the flip side of exponential commodity consumption in the last century. The Work Package also addresses the issue of coming to terms with modern materials' long-unknown toxicity, which provoked (ongoing) societal debates over the possibilities of their reuse/repurposing as part of the built environment. The growing awareness of industrial commodities' toxicity also mobilized civil society actors and environmental protest and advocacy groups, whose challenges opened up another 'front' in the commercial ?battle of materials". While cornucopian beliefs in unlimited growth and the infinite possibilities of modern industrial science and technology represented one powerful mindset of the ?Great Acceleration", environmental anxieties and the search for less harmful material alternatives represented an increasingly important counterpart to the mass consumption of resources in the 20th century.Your profileIt is expected that the candidate holds a PhD degree in History (or a related discipline) at the start of the position with an excellent grade.The candidate must be fluent in English, the team's working language, while additional language proficiencies relevant to the research, notably French, Dutch and/or German, are welcome.The candidate should have substantial experience in archival work and be familiar with the historiography of modern global environmental history, commodities and the circular economy. A demonstrated interest in recycling, toxicity and waste studies is an advantage.The candidate must take residence in Switzerland during the entire project period due to regular in-person team meetings (Jour Fixe) and be able to travel for archival research abroad.She/he should be keen to learn, be open to collaborative work, and eager to actively participate in the team efforts and long-term goals. These include the conceptualization and preparation of a public museum exhibition that will build on the research results of the Consolidator Grant project.The candidate will devote themselves full-time to the goals of the Consolidator Grant project to help achieve the project milestones and planned scholarly output.We offer youWe offer a funded postdoctoral position (80%, for 2+3 years) at the Europainstitut / Institute for European Global Studies of the University of Basel, Switzerland.The candidate will work in a motivated, international team that will help them pursue their ambitious scholarly ideas, research, and career in a stimulating, welcoming and multicultural environment.The salary and social benefits will be provided according to the rules of the University of Basel.All team members can rely on already secured travel grants to conduct their research internationally.The PI has assembled an international academic Advisory Board that includes some leading scholars in environmental history, global history, economic history, gender history, the history of consumption, waste/toxicity studies, the history of science, Western imperialism, and the Anthropocene, including EIB Director Prof. Dr. Corey Ross. The team will benefit from these international networks in the form of regular workshops with external experts, where work in progress can be presented and discussed in a constructive, safe atmosphere.

Postdoctoral Position in Cancer Stem CellPostdoctoral Researcher (m/f/d), 100 % for 2 years (plus)The position is available immediately or as agreedThe Department of Biomedicine (DBM), a joint venture of the University of Basel and the University Hospital Basel, brings together basic and clinical scientists to improve our understanding of health and disease. As a postdoctoral researcher, you will become part of a young team investigating cancer stem cells and the molecular mechanisms of their regulation, a promising and dynamic field of research where your contribution can make a real difference.Scientific BackgroundStem cells are rare populations of cells that in their primordial (i.e., ontological) significance serve as clonal founders of embryonic or adult somatic structures, while retaining a largely undifferentiated status themselves. Although adapted to tissue context, a recurrent feature of stem cells is the expression of pluripotency-inducing transcription factors, among which OCT4, KLF4, cMYC and SOX2. It is this set of four (or even less under certain conditions) that is indeed capable of reprogramming adult body cells into conditions of induced pluripotency. However, untimely or dysregulated expression of pluripotency factors is also related to the onset and progression of cancer.The specific project you will be involved in aims to further elucidate the functionality of SOX2, whose molecular regulation is a long-standing interest of ours and which we have recently discovered is also actively involved in translation (i.e., in protein synthesis by ribosomes, see Schaefer et al., Cell Reports 2024). The unforeseen discovery of a translational role of cytosolic SOX2, distinct from its established significance as a pluripotency factor in the nucleus, holds great promise for advances in reprogramming technology and the fight against cancer.Your AssignmentsYou will actively contribute to the isolation and molecular-functional characterization of SOX2/ribosome complexes, a presumably distinct form of ribosomes characteristic of SOX2-positve stem and cancer stem cells. These supposed ?stemness ribosomes" shall be enriched and analysed regarding their (i) molecular composition, (ii) specific transcript load, and (iii) structure. Key technologies involved will be (without limitation): density gradient centrifugation, ribosome profiling, affinity purifications, RNA extractions and library cloning. Your principal work objective will be the provision of sufficiently pure analytes and - in exchange with experts in their respective disciplines (our long-standing international collaborators and the DBM core facilities) - their more specific characterization by HPLC/MS, RIBOseq, and cryo-EM. The pinnacle goal, prospectively, is the characterisation of the SOX2/ribosome interface as a new chemical space for pharmacological intervention.Your profileWe are looking forward to applications from highly motivated, young researchers (m/f/d) with a basic education in the life sciences and a PhD in biochemistry, molecular biology, or equivalent. MD PhDs with a strong affinity for the natural sciences can be excellent candidates, too. A preceding research history in the fields of ribosomes, RNA, and library cloning would be ideal, but is presumably too specialized to be requested jointly. Rather, as science is more about constant learning and determination than experience, we are looking forward to applicants with a solid research track in protein and/or RNA biochemistry and a strong drive to succeed. Indeed, we are not looking for participants, but for achievers (certainly within and potentially also outside the academic context). A good command of English is mandatory, of German helpful. Candidates with an international career step (e.g., an internship, PhD, or first postdoctoral assignment abroad) will be preferred. Experience in animal work is not required for this job assignment, but will be considered as is any additional form of qualification. What really counts for us, however, more than any individual grade or specific practical training, is a positive work attitude, reliability, commitment and - most importantly - genuine curiosity and interest in research.We offer youThe Department of Biomedicine is an equal opportunity employer and a cutting-edge research facility that provides excellent training and career development opportunities for his affiliates. We offer a comprehensive salary at flexible working hours and welcome applications from all ages, genders and ethnicities. Our research is funded by the Swiss Cancer Research Foundation (KFS) and, more recently, by the Swiss National Science Foundation (SNSF). For a general introduction to the subject, please read: Schaefer and Lengerke, Oncogene 2020, doi: 10.1038/s41388-019-0997-x. For more detailed information on the role of SOX2 in translation, see: Schaefer et al., Cell Reports 2024, doi: 10.1016/j.celrep.2024.114807. The discovery of a translational significance of SOX2 opens up an entirely new field of research and unpublished results in support of this advertisement suggest a great scientific perspective for your employment with us. In sum: We are happy to offer a platform for committed young researchers who have a genuine interest in science and wish to let their light shine.
