Oferta compartida por Nuria A Technical Assistant position is available within a 6-yrs FWF START project on eco-evolutionary dynamics and admixture led by Markus Moest at the University of Innsbruck. We investigate admixture in an aquatic keystone grazer and study the consequences of admixture on eco-evolutionary dynamics in the context of global change on the population, species, community, and ecosystem level. The position is funded for 3+3 yrs at 50% employment with the possibilities of full and/or extended employment. ***Your responsibilities*** The TA will be involved in a large field campaign collecting plankton and sediment cores in peri-Alpine lakes and will be responsible for maintaining Daphnia and algae cultures. Moreover, the TA will help with phenotyping assays, molecular lab and mesocosm experiments, which will be set up at the University's Research Institute for Limnology (ILIM) in Mondsee. ***Your skills*** The planned work requires a high degree of independence and...
Oferta compartida por Nuria At the Institute for Biodiversity and Ecosystem Dynamics (IBED), University of Amsterdam, we seek to appoint an early career assistant professor for a tenure track in the area of Evolutionary Ecology in rapidly changing environments. At IBED, we investigate how species relationships determine the structure and stability of biological communities, and how the integrity of these communities is influenced or compromised by processes such as species extinction, the introduction of non-native invaders, and the growth of harmful species. Within EPB, our research comprises fundamental and applied investigations at the level of individual variation, population genetics and community dynamics, to understand the process of speciation, the evolution of resistance, the evolution of endangered and invasive species, and evolution in the face of climate change. Specifically, we are working on evolutionary questions related to plant communities, plant-herbivore, herbivore-...
