***Reminder: Review of applications for the Postdoctoral Fellowship
in the Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology at the
University of Toronto will begin on Feb. 1, 2011***
The Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology
<<http://www.eeb.utoronto.ca/>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
Postdoctoral Fellowship Program. Positions may continue for two
years, subject to review after one year, and can begin as early as
July 1, 2011. The salary starts at $40,000 per year, with research
expenses covered by the Postdoctoral 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
<http://www.eeb.utoronto.ca/postdoc/>www.eeb.utoronto.ca/postdoc/
for a list of potential supervisors). Opportunities for teaching in
an upper level course may be available, if the candidate wishes to teach.
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 of 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
<mailto:[email protected]><[email protected]>. Review
of applications will begin on Feb. 1, 2011.
The University of Toronto is a leading academic institution in
Canada with over 60 faculty members specializing in ecology and
evolution. Strong links exist between the Department of Ecology and
Evolutionary Biology and the Royal Ontario Museum, the Centre for
Global Change, the Centre for Environment, and the Faculty of
Forestry. The University owns a nearby field station dedicated to
ecological research (the Koffler Scientific Reserve,
<http://www.ksr.utoronto.ca/>ksr.utoronto.ca). The department also
has a partnership with the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources
that helps provide access to infrastructure, including lab
facilities in Algonquin Provincial Park
(<http://www.harkness.ca>www.harkness.ca), funding, and long-term
data sets. Genomic analyses are supported by the Centre for the
Analysis of Genome Evolution and Function
(<http://www.cagef.utoronto.ca>www.cagef.utoronto.ca).
