Post doc in Eco-Evolutionary dynamics of plant-insect networks (UPMC, Paris)

A one-year postdoc position is opened at the Laboratory Ecology & Evolution (UPMC-CNRS) in Paris, France.

The candidate will be hired to develop theoretical models on the eco-evolutionary dynamics of plant-insect networks. Such models will consider simultaneously antagonistic (eg, plant-herbivore) and mutualistic (eg plant-pollinator) interactions. Metacommunity components are welcome, though not required. Models will be general enough to address important questions in community and evolutionary ecology, but discussions of the implications of the models for agricultural management will be greatly appreciated.

Candidates from all countries are eligible provided they never had any postdoctoral position in France before. Minimum net monthly salary is 2100 euros. Skills in evolutionary ecology, community ecology, theoretical ecology are desired. Fluency in English is also appreciated.

The position must start before 1st of april 2012. Applications will be considered until the position is filled. To apply, email your CV (including a publication list), a brief statement of research interests, and arrange to have two emails of recommendation sent directly to me.
