Faculty position Ecosystem modeling at University of Potsdam
For those interested, here an announcement for a Faculty position in
Ecosystem modeling at University of Potsdam, Germany.
At the Dept. of Ecology/Ecosystem Modelling at Potsdam University
(next to Berlin, Germany) a full time faculty position is available
from May 2008 for 3 years with the possibility of extension for 3 more
years. It is designated to advance the Centre of Ecological Modelling
at Potsdam University. The successful candidate is expected to hold a
Ph.D. (preferentially since few years) and to have an excellent
publication record in the field of theoretical ecology and ecological
modelling. To complement the expertise already available at the host
(including the group of Prof. Jeltsch) research in community ecology
(e.g. trophic interactions in multi-trophic systems), adaptability of
ecological systems and its representation in mathematical models
(preferentially based on systems of differential equations) and
climate change research is particularly welcomed. The position
involves teaching of Bachelor ("Organismic Biology"), Master
("Ecology, Evolution and Nature Conservation") and Ph.D. students (4
hours per week during term). Raising additional funding to set up an
own working group, supervising students and close cooperations with
the host is highly welcomed. The latter enables to use comprehensive
plankton data sets and to conduct experiments with plankton organisms
to support model results.
At the beginning teaching may be conducted in English but some control
of the German language is expected. Further information are given

FEMMES), http://www.bio.uni-potsdam.de/
