A collaborative research team led by Blake Matthews, Ole Seehausen, and Bernhard Wehrli are seeking a postdoctoral researcher with a background and interest in evolutionary biology, community ecology, and/or ecosystem science.
The aim of the project is to understand the interaction between eco-evolutionary dynamics and the functioning of aquatic ecosystems. Specifically, we are interested in how organism-mediated changes to the temporal and spatial heterogeneity of ecosystems can alter environmental sources of selection, so as to either promote or constrain further adaptive evolution. The project involves large-scale eco-evolutionary experiments that address fundamental links between the ecology and evolution of food webs and the physical environment and biogeochemistry of aquatic ecosystems. Eawag’s Center for Ecology, Evolution & Biogeochemistry (CEEB) is located on the shore of Lake Lucerne in Switzerland, and is a strong nucleus of Eawag research groups aimed at integrating evolutionary biology, community ecology, and ecosystem science http://www.eawag.ch/forschung/cc/ceeb/index_EN. The postdoc will interact with a diverse range of researchers studying community ecology, evolutionary biology, ecological genetics, ecosystem science, and applied environmental science. The starting date for the postdoc is flexible, but a starting date in 2013 is preferred. Applications should include a cover letter, a curriculum vita, and the names of three references. Copies of 3-5 prior publications will also be considered if made available via PDF. Please submit your application by 1 July 2013. Applications must be submitted online via this link: http://internet1.refline.ch/673277/0201/++publications++/1/index.html For further information: please contact Blake Matthews by email ([email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>), or visit our webpages below.
