Postdoc de 2+ años sobre evolución social de abejas en UK

POSTDOCTORAL POSITION: SOCIAL EVOLUTION IN SWEAT BEES

A 2 year full time ERC-funded postdoctoral position is available starting 1 June 2019 in the research group of Professor Jeremy Field, based in the Centre for Ecology & Conservation, University of Exeter, Cornwall Campus, UK (http://biosciences.exeter.ac.uk/staff/index.php?web_id=Jeremy_Field). The successful applicant will work on a project investigating the evolution
of queen-worker caste differences and social behaviour in sweat bees (Halictidae: Lasioglossum, Halictus). Additional funding, beyond the initial 2 years, may be available depending on the needs of the project.

The post will involve work that could include carrying out field
transplants, behavioural observations and experiments, together with
transcriptomic work relating behaviour to gene expression (see Field et
al. 2010 Current Biology 20:2028-31 for an example of our behavioural
work). The successful applicant will have relevant experience in
evolutionary or behavioural ecology and/or transcriptomics with non-model
organisms.

The closing date for completed applications is 31 March 2019. Interviews
are provisionally expected to take place during 22-30 April 2019.
