IAST Research Fellowships in Evolutionary Biology,
The Institute for Advanced Study in Toulouse (IAST;
www.iast.fr) invites applications for post-doctoral research fellowships in Evolutionary Biology, with a start date of September 1, 2018.
We welcome applications from
researchers with research interests in any of the following areas:
theoretical models of evolution (applied to family structure, strategic
interactions, plasticity, cognition, learning,
cultural evolution); related empirical work.
We seek candidates with a
strong research background in their own discipline, but willing and able
to develop research projects drawing on IAST’s substantial
interdisciplinary resources, including particularly the
proximity of strong groups in economics (Toulouse School of Economics,
TSE). We are open to a variety of research methods, including theory,
field and laboratory experiments, observational field work, and the
analysis of large secondary data sets. All research
interests relevant to the broad study of human behavior are welcome,
but interests close to those already developed at IAST will be given
special consideration.
Eligible applicants
Active researchers who have
or will have completed their PhD after January 2015 and before September
2018. The IAST offers its researchers an opportunity to devote
themselves full time to their research at the start
of their careers. Motivated applications will be considered from
candidates whose PhDs were completed in 2014 or earlier; please explain
your reasons in your cover letter.
Conditions
Fellows are provided with office space, computer facilities and a contract for two years, renewable for a third year.
All applications need to be sent through our website:
