Objet : [netlogo-users] Post-doc and Grad Student positions in
Ecological Modeling
Here are two positions I am posting for Scott Peacor
at Michigan State University --- please contact
him at Peacor@msu.edu for more information.

Post-Doctoral and Graduate Student Position in Food Web Modeling
******************************************
Post-Doctoral Position in Food Web Modeling
We seek an individual to join a multidisciplinary team in the development
of food web models that incorporate phenotypic plasticity and coevolution.
Participants in this effort are ecologists and computer scientists from
Michigan State University (Scott Peacor, Eric Goodman) and the University
of Michigan (John Holland, Mercedes Pascual, Rick Riolo - of the Center for
the Study of Complex Systems).
A principal challenge is to understand how interactions between individual
organisms 'scale up' to determine structural and dynamical properties of
communities. Traditional theory typically skirts two critical elements of
ecological systems (1) individual organisms adapt (respond in the short
term) to environmental changes by altering their phenotypes and (2) the
magnitude and distribution of species interactions strengths are
determined, in part, by co-evolution. We will use agent based models and
evolutionary computational techniques to model food webs to examine the
origin and consequences of these properties.
The initial appointment will be for one year with the possibility of
extending this period (Salary ~ 36,000/yr). Qualifications: PhD and
expertise in ecology, ecological theory and/or modeling.
Interested individuals should contact Scott Peacor <Peacor@msu.edu> .
(There is also funding for a Graduate Research Assistantship in this
project. Please have interested students contact Scott Peacor.)

Graduate Student Research Assistantship in Food Web Modeling
Michigan State University, Fisheries and Wildlife Department
A graduate student research assistantship is available to work on a project
with a multidisciplinary team in the development of food web models that
incorporate phenotypic plasticity and coevolution. Participants in this
effort are ecologists and computer scientists from Michigan State
University (Scott Peacor, Eric Goodman) and the University of Michigan
(John Holland, Mercedes Pascual, Rick Riolo - of the Center for the Study
of Complex Systems).
A principal challenge is to understand how interactions between individual
organisms affect structural and dynamical properties of communities. We are
particular interested in studying two elements of ecological systems (1)
individual organisms adapt (respond in the short term) to environmental
changes by altering their phenotypes and (2) the magnitude and distribution
of species interactions strengths are determined, in part, by co-evolution.
This project will combine agent based models and evolutionary computational
techniques to model food webs to examine the origin and consequences of
these properties.
Interested individuals should contact and send a CV to
Scott Peacor <Peacor@msu.edu> .
Applicants should be available to begin work on the project during summer
or fall 2004.
