[Canada] Postdoctoral Position in Theoretical Ecology at McGill University
Professor Michel Loreau is seeking a postdoc to work on theoretical aspects of the relationship between biodiversity and ecosystem functioning in food webs. The successful candidate is expected to develop theoretical models within one of two projects: (1) a project on the relationships between biodiversity, food web structure and ecosystem functioning, with a focus on tropical savanna and freshwater lake ecosystems; or (2) a project on the role of trait-mediated interactions in the dynamics and functioning of terrestrial food webs. Both projects involve international collaborations with experimental ecologists
The position requires some experience or training in theoretical or mathematical ecology. It is available for two years to researchers who obtained their Ph.D. during the last five years. Annual salary will be $38,000 with provincial tax exemption for non-residents. The postdoc will be based at McGill University, where ecology has expanded considerably in recent years, with a special strength in theoretical and experimental ecology.
Review of applications will begin immediately and will continue until the position is filled.
