One postdoctoral position in theoretical, mathematical, or statistical ecology is available at North Carolina State University. This position is part of a collaborative, multi-institution, NSF-funded research grant to investigate the importance of transients in population or community dynamics (Hastings, A. 2004. Transients: the key to long-term ecological understanding? Trends in Ecology and Evolution 19:39-45). We seek a researcher interested in developing either mathematical models or statistical model-fitting methods to investigate the ecological implications of transients. The postdoc will be housed in either the Biomathematics Program or the Statistics Department at NCSU in Raleigh, NC, USA. Funds are available for a 12-18 month appointment. Start date is negotiable.
Applicants should have a PhD in a biological, mathematical, or statistical field, and an interest in working at the interface between the mathematical and ecological sciences. NCSU offers the opportunity to collaborate with an energetic group of ecologists, mathematical biologists, and statisticians, as well as scientists at neighboring universities in North Carolinas research triangle. For more information or to apply, please send a cover letter explaining research interests, a CV, and names and contact information for 3 references by email to Kevin Gross, NCSU Biomathematics Program, [EMAIL PROTECTED]
