Macroecology, Macroevolution, and Models of Biodiversity - Lecturer

The CNRS Research Unit 5174 (EDB; http://www.edb.ups-tlse.fr/) at Paul Sabatier University (Toulouse, France) seeks to complement and build on existing strengths in ecology and evolution by inviting applications ... for a full permanent position at the rank of lecturer.

We seek outstanding applicants engaged in answering broad basic questions to advance the fields of macroecology and macroevolution, with a strong emphasis on the combined application of empirical and theoretical
approaches. Preference will be given to applicants with experience and strong interest in field oriented research. Numerous opportunities for collaborative research are available in the Toulouse area through EDB itself and the other research units of the Research Federation 3450 (http://www2.toulouse.inra.fr/ifr40/fr/1_Presentation/index.htm)

Strong commitment to teaching at the undergraduate and graduate level is expected. Note that it is necessary to be relatively fluent in French since teaching is in English at the Master level only. Applicants must have a Ph.D. degree and have obtained the formal � Qualification � to apply to French University positions.

The review process will be held in Spring 2012. Official announcements will be posted later but if you are interested,
send a CV and a brief letter of interest to Christophe Th�baud (christophe.thebaud@univ-tlse3.fr).
