Post-doctoral position in insect or plant population ecology I am seeking a post-doctoral scientist for a two year project working on population ecology or optimal decisions in behavior and life history. The project could be theoretical, empirical or a combination of both. Possible topics could include the influence of environmental variation on population establishment, non-equilibrium dynamics of structured populations following disturbance (e.g. encounter with predators/parasitoids, fire or drought), or optimal resource allocation in insects mediated by the trade-off between current and future reproduction. I encourage all interested applicants to get in touch with me so that we can discuss common research interests, and potential projects. The post-doc position is funded through the University of Nebraska-Lincoln Program of Excellence in Population Biology (applications due May 1, 2008, starting date as early as June 2008). For more details on the application process see http://popbio.unl.edu/.
