Postdoctoral Fellowships, Ben-Gurion University of the Negev - Jacob Blaustein Institutes for Desert Research, Israel (2016-2017)

Candidates interested in conducting postdoctoral research at the Jacob Blaustein Institutes for Desert Research (BIDR) are invited to apply for postdoctoral fellowships from the Jacob Blaustein Center for Scientific Cooperation. These fellowships are for the 2016-2017 academic year and are eligible to be renewed for a second year. Postdoctoral positions are available for scholars performing research in topics related to drylands, including: desert ecology, solar energy, environmental physics, architecture and urban planning, rainfed and irrigated agriculture, hydrology, aquaculture, environmental microbiology, desalination and water treatment, and biotechnology.

Activities cover basic research in:
- Environmental physics, with applications in desert meteorology and solar energy.
- Water sciences and technology, with applications in water resource management, wastewater treatment and bioremediation.
- Ecology, with applications in conservation biology and environmental protection.
- Plant and animal physiology, with applications in desert agriculture, livestock, and aquaculture.
- Cellular and molecular biology, with applications in desert biotechnologies and biodegradation of environmental pollutions.
- Social sciences and architecture, with applications in regional planning and human habitat design in drylands.
