The Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology <www.eeb.utoronto.ca>  at the University of Toronto invites applications for Departmental Postdoctoral Fellowships in the areas of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, broadly defined. One position is available this year, and we expect that another will become available next year through an ongoing EEB Post-Doctoral Fellowship Program. Positions are for two years, subject to review after one year, and can begin as early as July 1, 2008. The salary is $40,000 Canadian per year, with research expenses covered by the Post-Doctoral Advisor.

The Fellow will be a fully participating member in the Department. Candidates must identify and communicate with a potential advisor (or advisors) in advance of the application process. All full-time faculty members at the St. George (downtown) campus of the University of Toronto are eligible to serve as advisors (see <www.eeb.utoronto.ca/postdoc/>  for a list of potential supervisors). Opportunities for teaching in an upper level course may be available.

To apply, applicants should first contact and obtain the agreement of a faculty advisor (or co-advisors). Afterwards, applicants should submit a cover letter clearly indicating the proposed faculty advisor(s), a curriculum vitae, copies of 2 publications, and a short (1-3 pages) description of past research accomplishments and future research plans. Applicants should include names and e-mail addresses for two potential referees. Applicants should also indicate the date they will be available to begin the position. All application materials must be submitted as PDF's in a single email to: Jan Haugan  jhaugan at eeb.utoronto.ca

For more information about the Department, contact your potential supervisor. Queries regarding the fellowship program should be directed to Demetrios Voudouris  dvoudouris at eeb.utoronto.ca .  Review of
applications will begin on March 21, 2008.
