Its Faculty of Science is a research-oriented institution with over 400 scientists conducting research in the fields of biology, chemistry, geology, geography and environmental studies. We offer a multidisciplinary, stimulating and interactive environment in young research groups. Applicants should have a recent Ph.D. in the corresponding field and a promising publication record; the degree had to be obtained no earlier than on 28 March 2008. The contracts will initially be for 33 months and will be funded through the European Social Fund in the Czech Republic.

One Postdoctoral researchers in Ecology (Faculty of Science, Department of Ecology) Postdoctoral Researcher – Macro ecological patterns in space and time. Postdoctoral position is available at the Department of Ecology on macro ecology and evolutionary biology. The ideal candidate for this position has strong background in macro ecology, community ecology and evolution, has experience with phylogenetic methods and spatial statistics, and is willing to learn new methods. Skills in programming and SQL scripts are competitive advantage. The research group is particularly interested on macro ecological patterns in space and time, species richness spatial distribution, life histories, and taxonomical decomposition of all the focal patterns. The postdoc should contribute to these research questions by employing modern statistical methods, and spatial and taxonomical modeling focusing on topics such as spatial distribution of evolutionary lineages, ecological guilds and phylogroups. The postdoc is expected to analyze patterns in distribution and diversity of various taxa at multiple spatial scales, and reveal evolutionary and ecological processes responsible for these patterns. Different statistical approaches and computer based, step-by-step models are likely to be used. Additional information on this position and research of the group may be obtained from David Storch (storch@cts.cuni.cz).
