tal biology and/or a previous experience with a rodent<br />
model would be an asset. Ideally, the candidate will<br />
have skills in staining and imaging methods (e.g. immunostainings,<br />
confocal microscopy) and some training<br />
with dissecting/manipulating embryos under a stereomicroscope.<br />
A 18-months position (ANR grant funded) is on offer,<br />
and the candidate will be provided assistance to find<br />
follow funding. Expected starting date: between January<br />
2013 and September 2013.<br />
The Molecular Zoology group is part of the Institute for<br />
Functional Genomics of Lyon. We have been interested<br />
in rodent molar development and evolution since 2004.<br />
In September 2012, we moved to a newly built and fully<br />
equipped building in Lyon. The institute hosts international<br />
teams and largely uses English for internal communication.<br />

LONG-TERM POST-DOC POSITION IN POPULA-<br />
TION / EVOLUTIONARY ECOLOGY<br />
Department of Animal Ecology – Netherlands Institute<br />
of Ecology<br />
JOB DESCRIPTION: This post-doc position is part of<br />
a new research group that studies how individuals and<br />
populations respond to environmental variability. The<br />
post-doc will analyze existing long-term datasets on<br />
birds and develop and apply theoretical models to study<br />
the eco-evolutionary dynamics of trait change and population<br />
change in the wild. The project aims to understand<br />
how individuals respond (microevolution, plasticity,<br />
demographic change) to extreme climatic events<br />
–such as flooding of nesting sites— and whether the<br />
response will be fast enough for populations to keep<br />
up with climate change. The post-doc will interact<br />
with other group members and collaborators working<br />
on field-based projects; a limited amount of fieldwork<br />
may be part of the project.<br />
REQUIREMENTS: We are looking for an independent,<br />
highly motivated and creative person with good social<br />
skills. Prerequisites are (1) a recent PhD in population,<br />
behavioural or evolutionary ecology, (2) a high-quality<br />
publication record, (3) excellent skills in mathematical<br />
and statistical modelling, and (4) an interest in both<br />
evolutionary and ecological processes and how they interact.<br />
Experience with long-term datasets and fieldwork<br />
on birds is a bonus. Applicants should be willing<br />
to start early 2013.<br />
APPOINTMENT: The appointment will be on a temporary<br />
basis for a maximum of almost 4 years, ending<br />
1-1-2017. Salary depends on training and work experience.<br />
The maximum gross monthly salary coming with<br />
a full-time appointment will amount to EUR3.755,00<br />
(scale 10 of the Collective Agreement for Dutch Universities).<br />
In addition we offer an 8% holiday pay, an<br />
end-of-year bonus, and extensive package of fringe benefits.<br />
LOCATION: The Netherlands Institute of Ecology<br />
(NIOO) is a top research institute of the Royal Netherlands<br />
Academy of Arts and Sciences and focuses on<br />
fundamental and strategic research. The Department<br />
of Animal Ecology consists of various research groups<br />
studying the behavioural, evolutionary and/or population<br />
ecology of birds. NIOO is located in the university<br />
town of Wageningen, situated close to all major cities<br />
in the Netherlands. The vibrant town offers a living<br />
environment surrounded by beautiful scenery, plenty of<br />
entertainment, bars, sports, and cultural activities.<br />
