The University of Bordeaux (France) hires a junior scientist in the field of Evolutionary Ecology.

We seek candidates whose research encompasses the fields of quantitative ecology, evolutionary biology through investigations in subfields such as population, and evolutionary genetics. The overarching goal is to integrate the various processes shaping the composition of terrestrial or aquatic communities in order to predict their future evolution. This can be achieved by coupling ecological, genetic but also social drivers into a generic framework, through modeling approaches.

Applicants must have a Ph.D. or equivalent in ecology or evolutionary biology and postdoctoral experience. A strong background in modeling and theoretical approaches is also recommended. .

The successful candidate will be part of the “Integrative Ecology” team within the Cluster of Excellence COTE and build on existing contributions from its different members. COTE ÂŤ Continental to Coastal Ecosystems: Evolution, Adaptability and Governance” is a Cluster of Excellence (LabEx) recently created at the University of Bordeaux within the national program of “Initiatives d’Excellence” as a joint project with CNRS, INRA, IRSTEA (former CEMAGREF) and IFREMER. The “Integrative Ecology” team will be composed of two scientists and two post doctorates, which will be affiliated with the member labs of COTE. In addition, it will have access to modeling facilities and personnel including dedicated engineers (data management and programming). The successful candidate is expected to develop strong collaborations and interactions between the different member labs of COTE and contribute significantly to the development of Evolutionary Ecology within the Cluster of Excellence.
The position is funded for two years by Labex COTE, with the perspective to apply for a permanent position during this period.

Applicants should send a cover letter describing their interest in the position, a curriculum vitae, and name and contact information of three references to:  Tato emailová adresa je chráněna před spamboty, abyste ji viděli, povolte JavaScript .
