10 Phd and 3 post doc positions are available in an EU-funded Initial Training Network (ITN) called “EVONET”. EVONET consists of 8 European groups working on different model organisms representing all major animal lineages. It aims to understand the evolution of Gene Regulatory Networks in a variety of animal model systems representing most major animal phyla: Cnidaria, sea urchins,
urochordates, vertebrates, polychaetes, basal arthropods and the fruit fly.

Applicants must have a different nationality than the country of the institution at which they wish to work. Applicants for ER positions should must have at least 4 years but not more than 5 years of research experience after their first University degree (e.g. Diploma or Masters). Applicants for ESR positions should have completed their first University degree no more than 4 years ago.

The following projects are part of the EVONET:

Ulrich Technau (coordinator), University of Vienna
GRN of mesodermal determinants in the cnidarian Nematostella vectensis

Michael Akam, University of Cambridge
GRN of head patterning genes in basal arthropods

Detlev Arendt, EMBL Heidelberg
GRN of head patterning genes in the polychaete worm Platynereis dumerilii

Ina Arnone, Stazione Zoologica Naples
GRN of mesodermal determinants in sea urchins

Daniel Chourrout, Sars Centre for Marine Molecular Biology Bergen
GRN of head patterning genes in the urochordate Oilopleura dioica

Eileen Furlong, EMBL Heidelberg
GRN of mesodermal determinants in Drosophila melanogaster

Nikolaus Rajewsky, Max Delbrück-Center Berlin
GRN of head patterning genes in the planarian Schmidtea

Jim Smith, MRC National Institute for Medical Research
GRN of mesodermal determinants in vertebrates

Applications should be addressed directly to the individual group leaders. Contact details and
further information can be obtained at http://www.itn-evonet.com.
