Job description

Offer DescriptionKEY WORDS: genomics, archaeogenomics, bioinformatics, population genetics, ancient DNA, molecular biology, next-generation sequencingPrincipal Investigator: prof. dr hab. Marek FiglerowiczResearch topic Research on the genetic structure of the Polish and Czech populations in the period of formation of early state structures in the 9th-11th centuries.I. Project descriptionThe main objective of this project is to investigate the mechanisms underlying early state formation processes in Central and Eastern Europe and to explore the relationships between populations involved in establishing these emerging political structures. The phenomena in question will be studied comparatively using the examples of early Polish statehood (centered in Greater Poland, with key power hubs such as Poznań and Gniezno) and early Czech statehood (developed in the Czech Basin with power concentrated in a small area of Central Bohemia).In both cases, these societies, during the transition from tribal to early state organizations, exhibited a relatively simple, two-tiered structure: an elite group associated with the ruling dynasty and a general population living outside the centers of power, primarily engaged in agriculture or livestock breeding. Identifying the origins of both the elites and the broader population in these early states is made possible through genetic and genomic research. By integrating these findings with historical, archaeological, and linguistic evidence, the project aims to answer key questions about the socio-political processes shaping Central and Eastern Europe around the turn of the first and second millennium AD.Research shall be carried out within the 2023/51/I/NZ8/02946 NCN project entitled “At the dawn of Central European statehood on the example of the Czech and Poland. Dynasties-elites-societies (late 9th- 11th century)”, funded by National Science Centre.Where to apply WebsiteRequirementsResearch Field Biological sciences » Biology Education Level PhD or equivalentAdditional InformationBenefitsThe expected salary is approximately PLN 9,000 gross.II. Requirements for the candidates:The candidate should have: * Ph.D. (or equivalent) in bioinformatics or biological sciences.

• ability to conduct bioinformatic analyses (primarily genomics) and visualize the results.
• knowledge of genomics, population genetics, next-generation sequencing, and topics relevant to the project’s subject matter.
