The Max Planck Institute for Demographic Research is seeking to expand further its activities in the field of
Evolutionary Biodemography
by making a number of appointments at the levels of PhD (doctoral stipend) and Post-Doc (postdoctoral stipend) or Junior Research Scientist (TVöD 13).
The successful candidates will join a team of 20 scientists and research support staff who are striving to understand the evolutionary processes shaping patterns of aging and lifespan through integrated studies of age-specific death rates, fertility rates, growth and parental investment. The group aims to gain new insights through interdisciplinary research and in particular through the use of evolutionary approaches to understand age-specific demography. The research combine theoretical modeling with the analysis of existing databases and the execution of field and laboratory studies on various model species. The institute is seeking able scientists with strong track records who can contribute to this work in new and original ways. Applications from diverse backgrounds will be considered Researchers with strong quantitative skills and either (1) grounding in evolutionary biology and an interest in learning demography or (2) grounding in demography and an interest in learning evolutionary biology, are particularly encouraged to apply, as are researchers with grounding in mathematical modeling and optimization who are interested in learning evolutionary biology and demography.
Applications should include a CV with a statement of academic interests an relevant experience, details of all qualifications including grades, a list of publications: the contact details of 3 referees. They should be sent by e-mail (biodemography-recruitment@demogr.mpg.de) to Prof. James W. Vaupel, Executive Director.
Review of applications will commence 15th January 2007 and continue until th positions are filled. PhD positions will typically commence September 2007 and other positions will commence as soon as possible after appointment.
please see http://www.demogr.mpg.de more information.
The Max Planck Society wishes to increase the share of women in areas where they are underrepresented, and strongly encourages women to apply.
The Max Planck Society is committed to employing more handicapped individuals and especially encourages them to apply.
