POST-DOCTORAL POSITION AQUATIC ECOLOGY, EVOLUTION, BEHAVIOR, OR ECOTOXICOLOGY
Applications are invited for a post-doctoral position at the University of
Pittsburgh in any area of aquatic ecology or evolution under the direction
of Dr. Rick Relyea. Current areas of research in the Relyea Lab include
inducible defenses (and other forms of phenotypic plasticity),
predator-prey communication, animal mating systems, disease ecology, and
community ecotoxicology in aquatic communities. Interested applicants
should propose potential research ideas that either build upon our
existing work or add interesting new dimensions to areas currently being
pursued.
The post-doc will reside on the main campus in Pittsburgh from September
to March each year and reside at the University’s biological field station
from April to August (www.pitt.edu/~biology/pymatuning.htm ). For more
information about the field station’s aquatic facility, go to
www.pitt.edu/~relyea/facilities.html.
The starting salary is $34,000 plus excellent health benefits. To ensure
a productive field season in 2008, the latest start date is 1 April 2008
(a completed Ph.D. is required prior to the start date).
Applicants should send a cover letter, cv, a research statement (including
potential research projects), and letters of reference to Dr. Rick Relyea
(relyea@pitt.edu) by 15 February 2008 (all in pdf format).
