Research fellow (PhD candidate) in behavioural ecology (4 years): Bergen, Norway

Closing date for applications: 15 June, 2015

The Department of Biology (BIO) (http://uib.no/en/bio) has a vacancy for a research fellow in behavioural ecology affiliated with the project ÂŤAdapted heuristics and architecture: towards an understanding of personalities and phenotypic diversity

An 18-month postdoc position funded by the Swiss National Science
Foundation is available in my group at the University of Zurich on
"The Evolution and Genetics of Life-Histories over Three Centuries of
Human Civilisation".

In this project you will use a unique genealogical dataset, covering three
centuries and including thousands of individuals, to investigate how human
life-histories are shaped by genes, culture and the environment. Combining
ideas and techniques from biology, sociology and history, you will
provide new insights into life as we know it.
