>> Postdoctoral Position in Theoretical Ecology
>>
>>A postdoctoral position is available in the Section of Evolution and
>>Ecology, U.C. Davis, for a suitably qualified person to work with Peter
>>Chesson on an NSF-funded program of research on spatial models of
>>ecological communities. Mechanisms of maintenance of species diversity,
>>competition and apparent competition are of particular interest. These
>>topics will be studied using both simulation and analytical techniques
>>in spatially-explicit models with a primary focus on several kinds of
>>plant communities in spatially varying environments. Cell-based,
>>lattice, continuous space and point process models are all potential
>>modeling frameworks. Extension of the storage effect, relative
>>nonlinearity of competition and related ideas to the spatially explicit
>>domain are of particular interest. Relevant data and on-going studies in
>>natural plant communities are available for application of theoretical
>>results.
>>
>>The position is available for one year in the first instance, with
>>possible extension for a further 1.5 years.
>>
>>Applicants must have a PhD in ecology, applied mathematics or a related
>>field.
>>Prior experience developing and analyzing population models is
>>essential. Familiarity with probability theory and probability
>>distributions is desirable.
>>
>>Applicants should send by October 15, 2000, a CV, a statement of
>>research interests, relevant reprints and manuscripts, transcripts, and
>>three letters of recommendation to Dr Peter Chesson, Section of
>>Evolution and Ecology University of California, Davis, CA 95616 USA.
>>Email: PLChesson@UCDavis.edu.
>>
>>Salary: $US25,000 per year + medical benefits
>>
>>Position open until filled. Starting date negotiable.
>>
>>The University of California is an Equal Opportunity/Affirmative Action
>>Employer with a strong institutional commitment to the development of a
>>climate that supports equality of opportunity and respect for
>>differences.
