Post-Doctoral Researcher Great Lakes Institute for Environmental Research (GLIER).
We invite applicants for a Post-Doctoral Researcher Position in the field of reef fish population connectivity in the Mesoamerican barrier reef system (MBRS). The project involves microsatellite genetics and otolith microchemistry in the bicolour damselfish off Mexico, Belize and Honduras. The successful candidate will be responsible to organize intensive sampling trips to the MBRS. The position will thus include both field and lab expertise. Existing samples will allow the analysis of other species to test hypotheses concerning the evolution and ecology of connectivity in coral reef fishes. The candidate should have proven skills in molecular genetics and/or otolith microchemistry as well as experience in SCUBA diving and field techniques. The individual should also have a good track record in analysis and publishing, and have the ability to work well in collaborative research. The GLIER offers a collaborative environment, with state-of-the-art facilities in genetics, genomics, and elemental and stable isotope analyses. GLIER faculty have expertise in the fields of aquatic invasions, evolutionary and conservation genetics, environmental science, genomics, and ecotoxicology. The position is for one year, but can be renewed, with a flexible start date as early as May 2007. Stipend is competitive, and research travel and other costs will be paid. Review of applications will begin April 1st, 2007. Interested applications should send their CV, a brief statement of research interest, and the e-mail addresses for at least two referees to: Daniel Heath Great Lakes Institute for Environmental Research University of Windsor E-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Phone: (519) 253-3000, Ext 3762 Fax: 971-3616 Website: www.uwindsor.ca/heathresearchgroup
