Postdoc in Population Biology (USA)

THE UNIVERSITY OF NEBRASKA-LINCOLN is seeking applications for a 2-year postdoctoral position in the Population Biology Program of Excellence.

The goal of the Population Biology-POE Postdoctoral Fellowship is to
stimulate synergistic interactions between faculty and postdoctoral
scholars interested in the broad area of Population Biology. Qualified
candidates are required to develop a single, coherent 2-year research
project under the guidance of two or more faculty advisors, one of whom
must be in the Ecology, Evolution & Behavior (EEB) section in the School of
Biological Sciences (http://biosci.unl.edu/research-specializations). The
second advisor may be in the School of Biological Sciences (including EEB),
the Institute of Agriculture and Natural Resources
(ianrhome.unl.edu/colleges), Mathematics (http://www.math.unl.edu) or in
another UNL department.  While in residence, the postdoctoral fellow will
be expected to teach a graduate seminar on a topic of his/her choice (Year
1), and to help organize a local symposium (Year 2). Applications must
include a CV, a 1-page description of previous or current research and a 2-
3 page description of proposed research as well as a brief description of
possible seminar and symposium topics. In addition, the applicant must
arrange for two recommendation letters from non-UNL faculty, and one from
each of the proposed UNL faculty sponsors (a total of 4 letters) to be
emailed to the address below.  The expected salary will be $45,000. The
position does not include research funds so it is anticipated that these
needs, if modest, can be met through contributions from the faculty
sponsors and should be addressed in the proposal.

Application materials should be emailed to: Dr. Gwen Bachman at:
gbachman1@unl.edu.  The subject line should read “Population Biology Post-
doc application”.  Applications should be received by 15 April 2015 in
order to ensure full consideration. We strongly encourage applications from
women and members of minority groups. The University of Nebraska is
committed to a pluralistic campus community through affirmative action,
equal opportunity, work-life balance, and dual careers. We assure
