We are seeking a post-doctoral researcher with expertise in radiation studies and wildlife research to lead a funded project on the effects of the Fukushima nuclear power plant disaster on the local songbird community. Position is for 1 year (renewable for an additional year) and candidate will be expected to begin in late March or early April 2012. He/she will be based out of IRSN (LRE, Cadarache) in France and annual salary is 25-35 k€ per year. Ideal prior experience includes research in Chernobyl or on experimental animal research on radiation in the lab. Candidate will spend several months in Japan and duties will involve netting/trapping wild songbirds, taking morphological measurements, blood samples for physiological testing, and also include opportunities for expanding the research program in, for example, developmental, behavioral, genetic, and immunological directions. Please submit cover letter, curriculum vitae, and names of two references to Dr. Christelle! Adam-Guillermin ([email protected]); review of applications will begin immediately.
