Uppsala University hereby declares the following position to be open for
applicationPhD-position in Evolutionary Ecology

at the Department of Ecology and Evolution, Population and Conservation
Biology, Evolutionary Biology Center

Description of the project: Adaptation to extreme climate change in a
community of brackish water snails.

The aim of the project is to study rapid evolution in response to extreme
climate in the snail guild of the Baltic Sea. The study will combine
laboratory and field experiments with genetic and physiological studies. The
purpose is to investigate the genetic response to increased environmental
temperatures in a system that provides a very good opportunity to study the
link between population-level response to selection and the underlying
genetic change.

The project will be supervised by Anssi Laurila (EBC, Uppsala University) in
cooperation with Jukka Jokela (ETH Zurich) and Jesper Sorensen (Aarhus
University).

We are looking for a highly motivated candidate with a Masters Degree within
ecology, evolutionary biology or equivalent, who can work independently.
Familiarity with field work on aquatic ecology and knowledge on molecular or
physiological ecology, experimental design, and/or statistics will be
advantageous. Good knowledge of the English language and a driving licence
are a requirement.

The application should include a letter summarising motivation, research
interests and relevant experience, a complete CV, publication list (if
available), an academic transcript (list of grades in university courses),
and names and contact information of two references, preferably all as one
pdf-file.
