Postdoc in mathematical ecology A postdoctoral position is available, starting September 2010, within the CHONe collaborative research network (Canadian Healthy Oceans Ecosystems Network, www.chone.ca). The candidate will develop and apply non-equilibrium theories of marine metapopulations with a focus on fluctuating dispersal and environmental change. The position will be held at McGill University (Montreal Qc) and/or Memorial University (St. John's NL) under the supervision of Frederic Guichard (McGill, Biology, falco.biol.mcgill.ca) and David Pike (Memorial, Math, www.math.mun.ca/~dapike). The successful candidate will join a large collaborative network of scientists and graduate students with many opportunities to apply theories and models to large marine datasets.
A Ph.D. is required. Candidates should have experience using mathematical modeling and computer simulation to study biological problems. Candidates with knowledge of network and graph theoretical approaches are particularly encouraged to apply. The successful candidate will be expected to collaborate with field ecologists within the CHONe network. Salary is $40,000/year plus benefits, renewable for a second year.
