The ETH Zurich center for Adaptation to a Changing Environment (ACE) www.adaptation.ethz.ch/ invites applicants for two postdoctoral fellowships in the areas of ecology, evolution, and genomics. ACE was established to connect the rapidly increasing availability of genomic information to ecological dynamics, as mediated by rapid evolutionary change. Postdocs, graduate students and faculty interact in a single center located on the ETH campus in Zurich. Those interested in applying their backgrounds in ecology, evolution, and genomics to the goals of the center are encouraged to apply.
The following topical areas are emphasized: Genomics of ecologically relevant traits Eco-evolutionary dynamics of species interactions Evolutionary responses to changing environments Projects can range from the theoretical to empirical, and must be conducted in collaboration with ETH faculty participating in ACE (see website). Postdoctoral positions are for two years and must commence before summer 2017. Work-related interactions will be in English and salaries are adequate to take advantage of the high quality of life in Zurich. Requirements include a PhD degree in ecology, evolution, bioinformatics or a closely related discipline, high-quality publications, fluency in English, and good communication skills. Your application includes a research statement, including one to two paragraphs describing how your research interests relate to the center and associated faculty, a curriculum vitae, and the contact information for three references. Application review will begin October 15, 2016, and continue until the positions are filled. To apply, visit: https://apply.refline.ch/845721/4888/pub/1/index.html
