Postdoctoral Fellowship Program (CALL FOR APPLICATIONS NOW OPEN!)
The University of Nebraska Program of Excellence in Population Biology announces two-year Postdoctoral Fellowships in Population Biology. The successsful Population Biology postdocs will bring new skills, new ideas, and new excitement to UNL programs. Two Postdoctoral positions will be advertised internationally every two years; thus, new highly-qualified individuals will regularly join the Population Biology group. Candidates will develop a research project with a faculty member associated with the Program (see list of core faculty). These positions will provide recent graduates the opportunity for independent research in association with a growing, integrative, and cross-discliplinary program. Applicant selection will be based on a research proposal to work with an established Population Biologist at UNL, but once in residence post-docs will be expected to interact more broadly with the group and participate in graduate instruction through courses and seminars.
New opening for a postdoctoral Fellow: applications due May 1, 2008, starting date June 2008. Qualified candidates are encouraged to contact potential faculty advisor from the list of core faculty associated with the program. A Ph.D. and expertise in any aspect of population biology is required. To apply, send a CV, a 1-page research proposal describing potential future research at UNL, a 1-page description of the significance of previous research, description of two potential graduate seminars you would like to teach, and arrange for three letters of reference, one of which must be from the proposed faculty sponsor, to the Population Biology Post-doctoral Fellowship Selection Committee, School of Biological Sciences, University of Nebraska-Lincoln, 348 Manter Hall, Lincoln, NE 68588-0118. Closing date is 1 May 2008. Fellowship positions will remain open until suitable candidates are selected.
