POSTDOCTORAL FELLOW IN POPULATION BIOLOGY--The Center for Population
Biology at UC Davis invites applications for a Postdoctoral
Fellowship in Population Biology, broadly defined to include ecology,
phylogenetics, comparative biology, population genetics, and
evolution. We particularly encourage applications from candidates
that have recently completed, or will soon complete, their PhD.
The position is for TWO YEARS, subject to review after one year, and
can begin as early as 1 July 2013. This position is covered by a
collective bargaining unit. It has an annual starting salary of
$39,264 plus benefits, and $6,000 per annum in research support. The
Fellow will be a fully participating member in the Center for
Population Biology and will be expected to have an independent
research program that bridges the interests of two or more CPB
faculty research groups. We strongly encourage candidates to contact
appropriate faculty sponsors before applying. We also ask that each
Fellow propose a workshop, discussion or lecture series that they
could offer to the community of population biologists at UC Davis;
faculty sponsors or the Director of CPB, Jay Stachowicz, can provide
additional input on this aspect of the fellowship. For samples of
past workshop abstracts and more information about UC Davis programs
in population biology, see
