Two postdoctoral positions in theoretical ecology: Biodiversity and stability
in spatial ecological systems
Two postdoctoral positions are available at the Centre for Biodiversity Theory
and Modelling, based at the Theoretical and Experimental Ecology Station in
Moulis, France (http://www.cbtm-moulis.com). The Centre for Biodiversity Theory
and Modelling aims to foster and perform innovative theoretical research into
the ecological and societal causes and consequences of biodiversity changes.
The two positions are open within the BIOSTASES (BIOdiversity, STAbility and
sustainability in Spatial Ecological and social-ecological Systems) project led
by Michel Loreau and funded by a European Research Council Advanced Grant
(http://www.cbtm-moulis.com/m-214-biostases.html).
Postdoctoral fellow 1 is expected to develop novel theory on the diversity and
stability of spatially distributed food webs.
Postdoctoral fellow 2 is expected to test some of our theoretical predictions
on the relationship between biodiversity and stability in ecological systems
using meta-analyses.
Candidates should meet the following requirements:
(1) have a PhD in ecology, mathematics or a related field;
(2) have strong mathematical or quantitative skills;
(3) be creative and independent;
(4) have a good publication record.
The positions are available for a period of two years starting during the
second half of 2018, preferably in August or September. Salary is in the range
€30,300–42,100 per year depending on experience. Review of applications will
begin on May 3rd, 2018, and continue until the position is filled.
To apply, e-mail a letter of application, a CV, a statement of research
interests, and the names and email addresses of three references to Michel
Loreau via Dalila Booth <dalila.booth@xxxxxxxxxxxx>.
