Postdocs in mathematical ecology/evolution at Yale

1) Postdoctoral Position To Study Sexual Selection and Social Evolution
A NSF-funded postdoctoral position is currently available in the lab of
Suzanne Alonzo (PI) at the Department of Ecology and Evolutionary
Biology at Yale University to develop theory on how individual social
or behavioral interactions affect evolutionary dynamics. The
postdoctoral researcher will work independently and in collaboration
with the PI to determine the precise questions to be addressed. A Ph.D.
in evolution, ecology, or mathematical biology is required. A
background in sexual selection, social evolution or evolutionary
ecology is preferred. Applicants should have a background in
evolutionary or ecological theory and have previous experience
developing mathematical models. Individuals with experience using
adaptive dynamics, game theory or quantitative genetics are especially
encouraged to apply.
Application deadline is November 1, 2009. Position will remain open
until filled. In the cover letter, applicants are asked to describe
their theoretical background and experience with mathematical modeling
explicitly. Please submit a curriculum vitae, brief statement of
research interests, up to 3 relevant manuscripts and contact
information for 3 references to Suzanne H. Alonzo by email
(Suzanne.Alonzo@Yale.edu) . Please put: "Sexual Selection and Social
Evolution Postdoc" in the subject line.
Yale University is an Equal Opportunity/Affirmative Action Employer. Men
and women of diverse racial/ethnic backgrounds and cultures are
encouraged to apply.

2) Dear Colleagues,
I am looking for a candidate to nominate for a Yale YIBS Donnelly
Postdoctoral Fellowship (to be held in my research group in the
Department of Ecology and Evolution at Yale University). The ideal
candidate will have experience and interest in sexual selection,
reproductive traits or the evolution of social behaviors. Candidates
with experience studying the underlying genetic, hormonal or
physiological mechanisms affecting reproductive or social traits are
also strongly urged to apply. The work to be conducted may be
empirical, theoretical or a combination of the two. The specific
questions to be addressed and the methods to be used are flexible.
Candidates must be nominated by a faculty member at Yale (me) by
December 10, 2009 and must submit their final application by January
31, 2010 (which includes a two page proposal, CV, three letters of
reference and one relevant publication). The postdoctoral fellowship
is for two years (to begin typically between July and September 2010).
To be competitive for this fellowship, candidates typically need to have
published at least 4-5 papers and the odds of success increase with the
number and profile of these papers.
Candidates must have a record of publication and strong letters of
reference to be competitive for this fellowship. Applicants must have
been awarded (or have nearly completed) their doctoral degree within
the past three years. The fellowship is for two years and the position
may be extended contingent on the availability of funding.

Please ask interested and qualified applicants to contact me as soon as
possible. They should send a curriculum vitae, a brief statement of
research interests, up to 3 relevant manuscripts and contact
information for 3 professional references by email
(Suzanne.Alonzo@Yale.edu).
Yale University is an Equal Opportunity/Affirmative Action Employer. Men
and women of diverse racial/ethnic backgrounds and cultures are
encouraged to apply.
Thank you in advance for you help.
Everything best,
Suzanne Alonzo
