PhD position in quantitative ecology is available at the Department of Biology, NTNU

The fellowship is for up to four years including 25 % teaching duties. The fellowship is linked to the Centre for Conservation Biology, NTNU (http://www.bio.ntnu.no/pbc/).

The purpose of the project is to study temporal and spatial variation in
population dynamics using large data sets covering a wide range of taxa. Our
aim will be to obtain a better understanding of how changes in the
environment, e.g. due to climate change, will affect long-term viability of
populations and species.

The student will through the PhD acquire expertise in quantitative ecology,
applications of population models and use of advanced statistical methods.
The candidate will work in a multidisciplinary research group.

Applicants must have, or soon expect to obtain, a MSc/Cand.Scient. (or
equivalent) degree in the field of quantitative ecology, mathematics or
statistics. Skills in using statistical software and programming are needed.
Ability to carry out goal-oriented work, give oral and written presentation
of research results, and good co-operation abilities will be emphasized.

Application deadline: 07.12.07.
