Summary
Postdoctoral Position Available
A two year Post-Doctoral position is available to
carry out research with the Phenology Laboratory,
Botany Department, Bioscience Institute at UNESP
Univ Estadual Paulista, Rio Claro, São Paulo
Brazil supported by a FAPESP-Vale Project.
The research is part of an investigative network
that focuses on the diversity, temporal patterns
(phenology), pollination biology and plant
strategies in the rupestrian fields and cerrado
savanna vegetations from Southeastern Brazil (SÃo
Paulo and Minas Gerais States).
The candidate must have a Ph. D. degree on
Biological Sciences, Plant Biology, Ecology or
correlated fields, with experience on mutualistic
networks, pollination biology and island
biogeography theory and statistical analysis of ecological data.
The work will consist on:
(1) the development of field research on
phenology and pollination biology of cerrado
savanna and rupestrian fields (Minas Gerais);
(2) the research must be design to understand how
plant-pollination networks change over time and space;
Since the research will focus on ecology of
pollination networks over time and space, a
previous experience in field or laboratory work
on ecological networks and its temporal and/or
spatial patterns is a relevant requirement for the applicant selection.
The position is open for Brazilians and foreign
candidates. The selected candidate will receive a
post-doctoral (PD) fellowship from FAPESP of R$
5.333,40 free of taxes, plus an additional
research contingency fund equivalent to 15 per
cent of the annual value of the scholarship to be expended on the research.
Applicants should send up to January 25, 2012 a
letter explaining the candidate´s
motivation/interest, a curriculum vitae and two
letters of recommendations, all documents in PDF
format, to the PI, Dra. PatrÃcia Morellato
(<mailto:[email protected]>[email protected]
or

The result will be available up to 30 January 2012.
