OF MAIZE AND BEANS.
A 2-year Postdoc position is available to study the consequences of
parasitoid-mediated
apparent competition between herbivores of maize and lima bean in Mexico.
Qualifications: A Ph.D. in entomology, ecology or a related field, as
well as experience
with fieldwork is required. The candidate should be self-motivated and
capable of
conducting independent lab and fieldwork. A period of 3-4 months per
year will be spent
conducting fieldwork in Mexico and supervising Master students. Review

foothills of the Jura
mountain range, overlooking the lake of Neuchâtel and the Swiss Alps.
Starting date: April 1st 2014.
The project will be conducted in the context of an on-going
collaboration between the
laboratory of Evolutionary Entomology (Betty Benrey) and the laboratory of
Fundamental and Applied Research in Chemical Ecology (Ted Turlings).
