Postdoctoral Research Position in Biological Sciences at University of Hull, UK 2012
Postdoctoral Research Position in Biological Sciences at the Department of Biological Sciences in University of Hull, UK 2012
Study Subject(s):Biological Sciences
Course Level:Postdoctoral
Scholarship Provider: University of Hull
Scholarship can be taken at: UK
Eligibility:
-PhD in evolutionary biology, ecology or a relevant subject
-A proven excellence in molecular ecology, DNA barcoding and DNA data analysis
-Applicants with a strong background in evolutionary biology and/or ecology are invited for the position of post-doctoral Research Associate to investigate the impacts of climate change on farmland ecological networks
Scholarship Open for International Students: No
Scholarship Description: The post holder will use both novel molecular approaches and ecological networks to determine how climate-driven changes affect the ecosystem service of natural biocontrol. With an emphasis on how altered host-parasitoid interactions affect agricultural crop yields, the economic impacts of climate-driven changes will also be determined. The successful candidate will join the interdisciplinary group of Drs. Darren Evans and Dave Lunt (Biological Sciences) and Dr. Jonathan Atkins (Hull University Business School, HUBS) as part of the University’s Centre for Adaptive Science and Sustainability (CASS). CASS is committed to working in close partnership with the business community to develop successful and sustainable economic growth. The post holder will establish and maintain replicated field experiments in collaboration with industrial partners to examine how climate affects the structure and functioning of aphid-parasitoid and leafminer-parasitoid interaction networks. You will develop and extend the suite of molecular tools currently deployed to accurately determine parasitism rates and identity. This will provide the highly resolved data necessary for quantitative network construction and analysis. The successful applicant will hold a PhD in evolutionary biology, ecology or a relevant subject. A proven ability in molecular ecology, DNA barcoding, and DNA data analysis is essential. The applicant will also carry out ecological network construction and analysis; knowledge of statistical modelling (preferably using R) would be advantageous. You must have excellent scientific communication, presentation and writing skills, as well as very good critical and analytical problem solving skills
