At the Institute of Ecology,

Postdoctoral position in Ecological Entomology (Ref. 23/2010)


We are looking for a postdoctoral researcher with a strong track record in
analysing the ecological interactions between plants, insect herbivores, and
their natural enemies, using laboratory and field experiments and/or
molecular approaches.
Candidates interested in this position should have a B.Sc./M.Sc. in a
relevant field and a Ph.D. in Ecological Entomology or a related area.
The successful candidate is expected to build up his own research group and
apply for third-party funding. The position comes with a teaching obligation
of up to four hours per semester.

The position is initially for two years but can be extended to up to five
years. We expect the candidate to have good communication skills and the
ability to work in a team. Fluency in English is a prerequisite and the
successful candidate is expected to learn some German after arrival even
though teaching will mostly be in English.
