I am seeking applicants for the Killam postdoctoral fellowship. This is a competitive, 2-year postdoc awarded by the University of Calgary in any academic discipline. The award provides a salary of $45,000 CAD/year, health benefits, and a research/relocation allowance of $6000.
The awardee would be expected to develop their own independent research on some topic of mutual interest to themselves and their faculty mentor (that would be me). I welcome applicants interested in pursuing fundamental research in any area of population, community, or evolutionary ecology. I would be particularly interested in applicants interested in collaborating with David Vasseur (Yale University) and I on theoretical and/or empirical research on spatial synchrony. Eco-evolutionary dynamics is another area of particular interest. To be eligible, you must have completed your PhD sometime after Sept. 1, 2009, or else anticipate completion by Sept. 1, 2012. The start date would be summer or early fall 2012. Application deadline is Dec. 15, 2011. The application needs to include a research proposal; prospective applicants should contact me well in advance to discuss this ([email protected]).
