We seek applicants for a 2-year postdoctoral fellowship in the
UBC Biodiversity Research Centre.
The next application round begins November 1, 2017. The deadline is
January 12, 2018. (Late applications will not be considered.)
The Centre is made up of over 60 faculty members with interests in
ecology, evolution, systematics, biodiversity and conservation.
Preference will be given to candidates with bold ideas, demonstrated
research ability, and strong communication skills. The successful
candidate will be expected to conduct original research on core problems
in biodiversity, foster interactions within the Centre, run a seminar
series, and organize a retreat. Postdoctoral fellows funded by the
Biodiversity Research Centre typically interact with several lab groups.
Candidates are welcome to contact potential collaborating labs in the
Centre to inquire about current and potential research activities, but
it is not necessary to apply to work with a specific faculty member.
*Starting date*: 1 September 2018.
*Salary*: $48,000 per yr.
*Research stipend*: $7,000 per yr.
*Application requirements*: curriculum vitae, a statement of overall
scientific goals and interests (approximately 2 pages), and the names
and contact information for three references. The statement of goals and
interests is free form but we should be able to determine both the
general interests and specific projects that the candidate will engage
in over the post-doc period.
All of the material should be submitted to [email protected]
<mailto:[email protected]> as a single PDF (please name your
file using this format: Lastname_Firstname_PDF2017.pdf)
Closing date for application, 12 January 2018.
