Hi all,
See below for a really interesting position in a great lab.
/Alistair
We are seeking a highly motivated Postdoctoral Research Associate to undertake research on UK butterflies and moths in order to understand the ecological and evolutionary responses of species to recent environmental change. You will compare present-day populations with museum specimens across a wide range of species, complemented by detailed lab and field studies of the speckled wood butterfly Pararge aegeria.
You will have experience of ecological fieldwork, insect rearing and the analysis of long-term ecological data. You will collaborate with other researchers on the project, who are developing genomic information and carrying out computer modelling. You will disseminate the results through written scientific papers and oral presentations, and also disseminate their implications for policy and conservation.
You will join an exciting NERC funded project, based in the research groups of Jane Hill, Chris Thomas, Kanchon Dasmahapatra and Calvin Dytham in the Department of Biology at York. The project will involve collaboration with the research groups of Ilik Saccheri and Greg Hurst at the University of Liverpool, Jon Bridle and Mark Beaumont at the University of Bristol, Ian Owens at the Natural History Museum, David Roy at the Centre for Ecology and Hydrology, James Bell at Rothamsted Research and Richard Fox and colleagues at the NGO Butterfly Conservation.
For informal enquiries please contact Professor Jane Hill on +44 (0)1904 328642 or email jane.hill@york.ac.uk.
