2 PhD & 1 Postdoctoral Positions, Department of Biology, Lund University, Sweden (2017)

We are currently seeking candidates to fill one post doc and two PhD positions at the Aquatic Ecology Unit, Department of Biology, Lund University.

The post doc is a 2-year position within a project that focuses on how environmental drivers associated with climate change (temperature and eutrophication) affect recruitment success of freshwater piscivorous fish. Candidates should have a PhD in ecology, limnology or fisheries biology with a research strong background in freshwater systems in general and specifically on the behaviour and ecology of freshwater fish.

The first PhD candidate will work within a project on how multiple threats in a landscape of fear affect the integrated phenotype of an organism, using zooplankton as model organisms. Candidates should fulfil the general qualifications required for applying to a PhD position in Aquatic Ecology and have experience from lab- and fieldwork in aquatic systems and an interest in ecological and evolutionary processes.

The second PhD candidate will work within a project on maintenance of species integrity and speciation processes in closely related species through ecological selection on hybrids, using the Bahamas mosquitofish as a model species. Candidates should fulfil the general qualifications required, with a background in animal evolutionary ecology (or equivalent), a strong interest in behavioural ecology, evolutionary and life-history theory.
