----------Advertisement for postdoctoral position----------
Dear Colleagues:
A postdoctoral position is available immediately for one
year or more at Yokohama National University (YNU), Japan to
assist in the development of "Assessment and Management of
Complex Ecological Systems" in terms of nonlinear dynamics
and/or complex systems. Our research group at YNU is
currently involved in the 21st Century COE (Center of
Excellence) program sponsored by Ministry of Education,
Culture, Sports, Science and Technology, Japan and entitled
"Bio-Ecological environmental Risk Management".
Our group is particularly interested in developing theories,
modeling, and analyses of ecological systems in terms of
such concepts as "ecological resilience", "panarchy", and
"adaptive capacity" stemming from the analysis of complex
dynamical systems. These technical terms are some of the key
concepts in the research projects of Resilience Alliance.

The related research fields that our research group is going
to proceed with are as follows:
/Management of Ecological Systems
/Ecosystems Modeling
/Stability and Biodiversity of Ecological Systems
/Sustainable Development
/Theory of Ecological Systems
/Ecological and Environmental Risk Management
/Nonlinear Dynamics in Ecological Systems
The net grant will be approximately 23,750-31,000 US$
(21,100-27,600 EUR) per year depending on a research career.
Applicants should have a degree in nonlinear dynamics or
complex systems. They should be able to develop
interdisciplinary fields, with special emphasis on complex
ecological/environmental systems.
Interested applicants should submit their detailed CVs and
publications lists by E-mal to
Dr. Kiminori ITOH, Professor
itohkimi@ynu.ac.jp
