POST-DOCTORAL POSITION IN THEORETICAL EVOLUTIONARY ECOLOGY:
GENERAL GENETIC MODELS ON PHENOTYPIC PLASTICITY

A unifying quantitative genetic model that includes spatial and temporal variations of the environment, irreversibly and reversibly plastic phenotypic traits, reliability of inducing cues and time delays for phenotypic response will be developed to study the role of phenotypic plasticity in the process of adaptation by modifying and directing the evolutionary response of organisms under diverse selection regimes.

The position is available starting October 1, 2009, but will remain open until filled. The post is available for up to 3 years. Initial appointment is for one year.

A solid background in evolutionary biology and previous experience in modeling are desirable. The successful candidate is expected to interact also with other scientists of EES (see www.eeslmu.de).

Applicants should submit (email preferred) a letter of interest, a complete CV, reprints (pdf-files) of not more than three papers, and name and contact information of at least two references to:
