The Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology <www.eeb.utoronto.ca>
at the University of Toronto invites applications for Departmental
Postdoctoral Fellowships in the areas of Ecology and Evolutionary
Biology, broadly defined. One position is available this year, and we
expect that another will become available next year through an ongoing
EEB Post-Doctoral Fellowship Program. Positions may continue for two
years, subject to review after one year, and can begin as early as July
1, 2009. The salary is $40,000 Canadian per year, with research expenses
covered by the Post-Doctoral Advisor.
The Fellow will be a fully participating member in the Department.
Candidates must identify and communicate with a potential advisor (or
advisors) in advance of the application process. All full-time faculty
members at the St. George (downtown) campus of the University of Toronto
are eligible to serve as advisors (see <www.eeb.utoronto.ca/postdoc/>
for a list of potential supervisors). Opportunities for teaching in an
upper level course may be available.
To apply, applicants should first contact and obtain the agreement of a
faculty advisor (or co-advisors). Afterwards, applicants should submit a
cover letter clearly indicating the proposed faculty advisor(s), a
curriculum vitae, copies of 2 publications, and a short (1-3 pages)
description of past research accomplishments and future research plans.
Applicants should include names and e-mail addresses for two potential
referees. Applicants should also indicate the date they will be
available to begin the position. All application materials must be
submitted as PDF's in a single email to: Elizabeth Rentzelos
<[email protected]>.
For more information about the Department, contact your potential
supervisor. Queries regarding the fellowship program should be directed
to Demetrios Voudouris <[email protected]> . Review of
applications will begin on March 20, 2009.
Toronto is a vibrant, multicultural city on the shore of Lake Ontario,
with rich cultural options in the arts, music and film, ethnic cuisine,
and a high quality of life. The EEB department is home to an
interactive, collegial group of ecologists, geneticists, and
evolutionary biologists, and currently supports a strong group of
Post-Doctoral Fellows with diverse research interests.
