We are looking to recruit a Post-Doctoral Fellow (PDF) to participate in a collaborative project between the Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology at the University of Toronto (U of T) and the Ontario Ministry of the Environment (MOE) examining relationships in contaminants of Great Lakes fishes. The MOE has been involved in determining contaminant levels in sport fishes from the Great Lakes for approximately 30 years and has developed an extensive database related to this work. Complementary datasets exist for forage fish, water chemistry and sediment chemistry. During this period of time the Great Lakes have undergone changes in contaminant inputs, alterations to environment conditions, and trophic changes due to species introductions. The PDF will work in collaboration with researchers at the MOE and at the U of T testing spatial and temporal relationships in contaminant trends. Funding is available for two years with the possibility of a third year pending approval. We will consider applications beginning March 1 or until the position is filled. Please email a copy of your CV, names of three references and a statement of research interest to both Dr. Rachael Fletcher ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) and Dr. Don Jackson ([EMAIL PROTECTED]).
