3 PhD FELLOWSHIPS, CENTRE FOR SOCIAL EVOLUTION, COPENHAGEN
3 PhD FELLOWSHIPS, CENTRE FOR SOCIAL EVOLUTION, COPENHAGEN
The Centre for Social Evolution (CSE) at the University of Copenhagen has
3 vacancies for Ph.D. fellowships to study aspects of social evolution
in insect societies, starting on the 1st November or 1st December 2008.CSE has six major research programs, which focus on mating system
evolution, information and recognition, social parasitism, disease,
invasive ants and the evolution of symbiotic interactions. Any of these
topics is eligible, and interdisciplinary combinations are encouraged,
but one position will be filled in the information and recognition
field. See http://www.bi.ku.dk/CSE/ for further details of CSE?s
research, for staff and postdoctoral and Ph.D. fellows involved, and
for relevant publications.
Depending on the topic concerned, successful candidates will be supervised
by one or several of the CSE senior staff: Jacobus J. Boomsma, Patrizia
d?Ettorre, David R. Nash and Jes S. Pedersen. Collaborative work with
CSE?s partner group at the faculty of Life Sciences, directed by J?rgen
Eilenberg, is also a possibility.
Candidates should possess an M.Sc. or equivalent degree in evolutionary
biology, population biology, animal behaviour or a related field,
and should preferably have demonstrated their excellence by at least
one publication. Experience with DNA techniques, immunity assays,
modelling and/or chemical analysis (e.g. GC-MS), and a good knowledge
of relevant evolutionary theory will be an advantage.
Candidates who would like to be considered for one of these posts are
invited to send a CV, PDFs of published or accepted manuscripts, and
a one-page declaration of interest, outlining what kind of questions
they would like to address, how these would fit in with CSE?s ongoing
research, and how their educational background and expertise would
enable them to embark on this work in a focused and productive way,
by e-mail, to:
Bettina Markussen Secretary, Centre for Social Evolution Department
of Biology, University of Copenhagen Universitetsparken 15, DK-2100
Copenhagen, Denmark e-mail: BENMarkussen@bio.ku.dk
For informal inquiries please contact CSE?s director, Professor Jacobus
J. Boomsma (JJBoomsma@bio.ku.dk) or, for the earmarked “information
and recognition” fellowship, Dr. Patrizia d’Ettorre (pdettorre@bio.ku.dk).
The deadline for receipt of documents is 15 August 2008. Declarations
of interest and CV’s will be reviewed by a committee of senior members
of CSE to identify candidates that will be invited for interview and to
submit a full Ph.D. proposal.
