Dear all,
I'm posting this for Dr. Svenning (see contact below). Please direct
correspondence to him. Let me add, though, that Denmark is a very
desirable country to move to - look at any number of polls and
statistics on quality of life.

Post doc position in Plant Macroecology
The Department of Biological Sciences, University of Aarhus, invites
applications for a 3-year post doc position at the Systematic Botany
research group starting September 1, 2008 or as soon as possible thereafter.
The Systematic Botany research group has a strong focus on
ecoinformatics and macroecology. The post doc will work on a research
project on high-resolution modelling of plant species across large
geographical regions. The aims of the project are to understand how
plant species distributions and the geographic distribution of plant
diversity are controlled and develop predictions of the potential
impacts of near-future global change.
The postdoc candidate is expected to provide cutting-edge expertise in
spatial modeling of species distributions and to have strong
collaborative skills. The post doc’s research focus will be on
aggregating and analyzing high-quality georeferenced plant occurrence
and diversity data for Europe, but is also expected to contribute to
related projects within the Systematic Botany research group.
Applications must be in English and include a curriculum vitae with a
complete list of publications and information about research activities,
teaching qualifications and management experience, all in 4 copies (see
http://www.nat.au.dk/stilling/cv for the recommended level of detail).
If the applicant wants other material to be considered in the evaluation
(publications and other documentation of research and teaching
qualifications, as well as management experience) such material must be
clearly specified and must either be enclosed in hardcopy (3 copies) or
must be available electronically.
The Faculty refers to the Ministerial Order No. 170 of 17.03.2005
(http://www.au.dk/da/21-05.htm) on the appointment of teaching and
research staff at the universities under the Ministry of Science,
Technology and Innovation.
Salary depends on seniority as agreed between the Danish Ministry of
Finance and the Confederation of Professional Unions.
Applications should be addressed to The Faculty of Science, University
of Aarhus, Ny Munkegade, Building 1520, DK-8000 Aarhus C, Denmark, and
marked 212/5-224.
The deadline for receipt of all applications is May 15, 2008, at 12:00 noon.
