Postdoc position in Evolutionary Ecology
https://lnu.se/en/meet-linnaeus-university/work-at-the-university/?rmpage=job&rmjob=2525&rmlang=UK
We are seeking to strengthen our research team with a highly motivated Post Doc student interested in evolutionary and molecular ecology, with emphasis on causes and consequences of genetic and phenotypic variation within and between populations and species.
Two main areas of research addressed by the group include ecological and evolutionary responses to spatiotemporal environmental change, and consequences for individuals, populations and species of variation in functionally important traits. Study organisms include insects (pygmy grasshoppers, butterflies and moths), fishes, and fish-associated microbial communities. The postdoc should have research interests and prior experiences that align with one or more of the currently ongoing research projects. The successful candidate should have skills and knowledge in methods and analysis of genetics and molecular data.
The position will be full time for 1 year, with good opportunities to be extended.
The successful applicant will be part of EEMiS, a multidisciplinary center of excellence within Linnaeus University.
Project leader and principal supervisor: Professor Anders Forsman (anders.forsman@lnu.se)
The application (in English) should contain a CV (with telephone and e-mail), documentation of exams and grades, a description of motivation and experience relevant to the research project and any other documentation that the applicant would like to present. Candidates are requested to submit a short research proposal that shows how the experience of the candidate can be applied on the research conducted at the evolutionary ecology and fish biology research groups. The candidates should also provide at least two letters of recommendation (including contact information (telephone number and e-mail) for the reference persons).
You apply through https://lnu.se/en/meet-linnaeus-university/work-at-the-university/
Deadline for applications is the 31st of January, 2017.
Welcome with your application!
Please distribute to potential candidates.
Cheers,
Anders Forsman
