Graduate position: sex-specific ageing in a wild primate population
The Anthropology/Sociobiology department at the Georg-August University Göttingen, Germany (http://www.soziobio.uni-goettingen.de/) is offering a PhD position for 3 years in a DFG-funded project starting on 1 July 2010 or as soon as possible thereafter (payment: 65% TVL, West).
We seek a highly motivated Ph.D. student who will work on the topic of ageing in wild primates within an evolutionary framework. The project focuses on sex differences in demographic and physiological ageing in the gray mouse lemur
Microcebus murinus. Field work will be conducted at the DPZ field station in Kirindy Forest, Western Madagascar
(http://www.soziobio.uni-goettingen.de/Mada/madagaskar-menu-en.htm). The methods to be employed include capture-mark-recapture, functioning experiments and parasitological analyses.
We offer a stimulating scientific environment in an international research group whose members work on a variety of topics in behavioral and evolutionary biology. The graduate student will be enrolled in the GAUSS program (Georg-August University School of Science, http://www.gauss.uni-goettingen.de/general.html ). Göttingen is a pleasant
medium-sized university town located in the middle of Germany with a lively cultural scene.
Applicants should have a Master degree (or equivalent) in evolutionary biology, population biology or a closely related field. Further job requirements include field experience (preferably in the tropics), the ability to work independently as well as basic French skills. Good quantitative, analytical, and English skills are also essential. Familiarity with animal handling techniques, capture-mark-recapture modeling, parasitological methods and field experiments are highly desirable.
Candidates should submit their application by e-mail as a pdf containing a cover letter, CV and the contact information of two referees.
Application received until 20 April, 2010 will be fully considered, but the position remains open until a suitable candidate has been identified. Please send applications to
