The newly established Landscape Ecology group at the University of
Hohenheim (Stuttgart, Germany) invites applications for

TWO SENIOR RESEARCH ASSOCIATES (EQUIVALENT TO ASSISTANT PROFESSORS)

Our group (led by Frank Schurr) studies biodiversity dynamics at different
spatial and temporal scales as well as various hierarchical levels
(genotypes, populations, species and communities). We aim to quantitatively
understand how biodiversity dynamics arise from ecological and evolutionary
processes. Much of our work is motivated by the need to quantify and
forecast biodiversity responses to environmental change. To address our
research objectives, we integrate empirical research, process-based
modelling and advanced statistics (see also
www.sites.google.com/site/frankschurr).

We are looking for highly motivated researchers who are keen to further
develop their scientific profile, enjoy collaborating and have a strong
publication record. The successful candidates will have strong expertise in
aspects of biodiversity science such as functional, community and
population ecology, biogeography, conservation or evolutionary biology.
They should have experience with experimental ecology, advanced statistics
and/or process-based modelling. Expertise in plant identification is a
bonus, whereas knowledge of German is not required.

The Landscape Ecology group comprises technical staff and is well equipped
with lab, common garden, greenhouse, and computer facilities. Situated in
the Southern German city of Stuttgart, the University of Hohenheim is
located on a beautiful campus (one of the most species rich in Germany). It
is well integrated into national and international research networks with a
critical mass of researchers working on ecology, environmental science and
evolutionary genetics. Stuttgart has a rich cultural life, attractive
surroundings (Swabian Alp, Black Forest) and offers ample job opportunities
for spouses.

The positions are initially for three years, with the possibility of
extension for two to three years. The starting date is negotiable (April
2014 or later). The positions involve a moderate amount of teaching.
Salaries follow the German civil service payscale TV-L E13. Candidates
should hold a PhD and must be willing to supervise students and apply for
external funding. Women and members of minority groups are particularly
encouraged to apply.

If you are interested in these positions, please send your CV, publication
list, contact details of two references and a short description of your
research interests as a single PDF file to Frank Schurr,
frank.schurr@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx . The application deadline is 7 February 2014.
For enquiries, please contact Frank Schurr under the above e-mail address.
