Stanford University, Biology Department, Theoretical Evolutionary Ecology. Postdoc position to work on the evolution of life histories with Shripad Tuljapurkar. The postdoc will interact with a group (at Stanford, Berkeley, Davis, Imperial College and Miami) working on aging and senescence, age-stage structured models, quantitative trait dynamics and evolution, coevolution of social behavior and life histories. [...]

I am looking to fill a postdoc position in sexual selection and genetics of speciation, focused on measuring selection in the wild at the genetic level. The project uses a manipulative field experiment to directly test how sexual selection acts on genomic regions conferring sexual isolation. We work with the charismatic threespine stickleback, and are [...]

We announce an ESF-funded summer school “Methods in Empirical Speciation Research”, taking place August 29 to September 4, 2010 in Switzerland. We still have travel support and accommodation for additional participants and consider applications until June 30th.
The school is part of the European Science Foundation Networking Program Frontiers in Speciation Research (FROSpects) and is open [...]

The Insect Symbiosis Research Group at the Max Planck Institute for Chemical Ecology in Jena (www.ice.mpg.de/kal/home/home_de.htm?mp=369) studies the evolution and chemical ecology of insect-bacteria symbioses. Two postdoctoral positions are available immediately.
Postdoctoral fellowship Molecular ecology of a defensive insect-bacteria symbiosis
Solitary digger wasps of the genus Philanthus cultivate Streptomyces bacteria in specialized antennal glands that protect the [...]

A postdoctoral position is available to conduct research on the ecological genetics of adaptation in the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana. This is one of several positions associated with a multi-investigator, collaborative project to identify the traits, genes and gene networks involved in adaptation to natural environments. Team members include Doug Schemske (Michigan State University; evolutionary [...]

Applications are invited for the post of Temporary Lecturer in Vertebrate Biology in the UCD School of Biology & Environmental Science. The person employed should have a particular interest in birds”and/or” reptiles. Their interests should lie in the area of evolution/evolutionary ecology and preferably have experience with vertebrate morphology and/or comparative physiology.
Candidates should have a [...]
