Fellowships for Young Scientists to Conduct Research on Fisheries-Induced Evolution
Funding is available at the International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis (IIASA; www.iiasa.ac.at) for PhD candidates to work 3-6 months with projects relevant to the institutes ongoing research on fisheries-induced evolution (www.iiasa.ac.at/Research/ADN/Fisheries.html). Successful applicants can participate through the Young Scientists Summer Program (www.iiasa.ac.at/yssp/) and/or through the European Research Training Network on Fisheries-induced Adaptive Changes in Exploited Stocks (www.iiasa.ac.at/Research/ADN/FishACE/). Work will be done in close collaboration with Erin Dunlop, Åke Brännström, and Ulf Dieckmann of IIASAs Adaptive Dynamics Network (www.iiasa.ac.at/Research/ADN/). In particular, we are looking for candidates interested in conducting research on one of the following topics: a) Eco-genetic models of fisheries-induced evolution (for more information on this project contact Erin Dunlop at [EMAIL PROTECTED]). b) Models of food webs and food web evolution with applications to fisheries (for more information on this project contact Åke Brännström at [EMAIL PROTECTED]). Informal inquiries about specific research interests and plans are encouraged and can be sent by email to either Erin Dunlop or Åke Brännström. To apply, send a CV, a description of relevant research experience, contact information for at least two references, and copies of any salient publications to either Erin Dunlop or Åke Brännström by January 10, 2006. Review of applications will continue until positions are filled.
