The department of Ecology & Evolutionary Biology at the University of Toronto invites applications for the prestigious Banting Postdoctoral Fellowship. These awards include a $70,000 annual stipend for 2 years and are available to excellent junior scientists from any country to conduct postdoctoral research in Canada.
The University of Toronto is a leading academic institution in Canada with over 60 faculty members specializing in ecology and evolution. Strong links exist between the Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology and the Royal Ontario Museum, the Centre for Global Change, the School of the Environment, and the Faculty of Forestry. The University owns a nearby field station dedicated to ecological research (the Koffler Scientific Reserve, www.ksr.utoronto.ca ). The department also has a partnership with the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources that helps provide access to infrastructure, including lab facilities in Algonquin Provincial Park (www.harkness.ca ), funding, and long-term data sets. Genomic analyses are supported by the Centre for the Analysis of Genome Evolution and Function (www.cagef.utoronto.ca ). To apply, applicants should first contact and obtain the agreement of a faculty advisor (or co-advisors) who is a member of EEB's graduate faculty; the faculty member(s) must agree to support the application. Please see this list for eligible faculty members: http://www.eeb.utoronto.ca/people/G-faculty.htm Applications are due to the EEB department by July 16, 2015, with further details of the application process available on the EEB department website: http://www.eeb.utoronto.ca/about-us/employment/postdocs/eebbanting.htm For full information on the Banting Postdoctoral Fellowships, including eligibility, please see this website: http://banting.fellowships-bourses.gc.ca
