We are looking for candidates that want to apply for an FCT (Portuguese
Foundation for Science and Technology) doctoral fellowship to join us at
the Centre for Functional Ecology (cfe.uc.pt) of the Department of Life
Sciences of the University of Coimbra (Portugal).
The successful candidate will be expected to develop his/her research
within the framework of the European project ReproWeed, which will
investigate the creation of reproductive barriers between native and
non-native ranges of the invasive weed Centaurea solstitialis. The
research involves laboratory and field-based work and involves the
interaction with an international network of collaborators, with the
possibility to travel to California, Chile, Argentina, Australia, Turkey
and Spain.
The candidate should have a good scientific background, with an interest
into reproductive and evolutionary ecology of invasive weeds, and
willingness to learn genetic molecular techniques. A good knowledge of
the English language, experience with molecular techniques and
ecological statistics is highly desirable. *Candidates should be
Portuguese or permanent residents *and comply with the conditions to be
a candidate for the FCT Doctoral Grants (BD; see previous year
conditions at: https://www.fct.pt/apoios/bolsas/regulamento2011.phtml.en).
The doctoral fellowship includes a monthly payment of 980 euros
(tax-free), plus an accident insurance and a monthly contribution to the
Portuguese Social Security system (full healthcare and retirement, but
no unemployment benefits). The project ReproWeed will cover for all
research costs, including travels, attendance to conferences, etc. The
scholarship is renewable for up to four years, at the end of which the
candidate is expected to defend his or her PhD. dissertation thesis.
A call for fellowship applications will be open until June 21, 2012 but
contacts should be made before June 15, at 5pm CET. Interested
candidates should send a covering letter describing their research
interests and experience, a CV, and the contact information for up to
three professional referees to Daniel Montesinos
(danimontesinos@xxxxxxxxx) or Sílvia Castro (scastro@xxxxxxxxx).
Informal inquiries are welcome.
