> We are looking for an enthusiastic and highly motivated PhD-candidate who
> is eager to study the ecological consequences of sexual size dimorphism
> using mathematical models. You will be embedded in the Theoretical and
> Computational department, which is part of the Institute for Biodiversity
> and Ecosystem Dynamics (IBED) at the Faculty of Science at the University
> of Amsterdam.
>
> In the animal kingdom, we commonly see species where one sex is larger
> than the other - a phenomenon called sexual size dimorphism. Despite
> remarkable differences between the sexes, these are not present early
> in life for most species. Because many differences between the sexes
> arise during an individual’s development, the ecological conditions
> experienced early in life influence the expression of sexual dimorphism
> later in life. To understand the ecological consequences of sexual size
> dimorphism, we need to know how early-life growth and development shape
> differences between the sexes.
>
> What are you going to do?
>
> In this project, you will develop sex- and size-structured population
> models to study how plasticity in growth in body size during development
> affects the ecological consequences of sexual size dimorphism. You
> will use numerical continuation techniques and mathematical bifurcation
> analyses to analyse these models. While this is mainly a theoretical and
> computational research project, it is possible and highly encouraged to
> also carry out some experimental lab work at the University of Karlstad
> (Sweden) to test model predictions with an empirical fruit fly system.
>
> As long as it fits in the general topic of this research position, you
> will have flexibility in choosing the questions you wish to investigate.
>
> Possible questions that you may address for this project are:
>
> * How do changes in early life growth rate and the size at first
> reproduction affect population dynamics and species persistence in
> sexual size dimorphic species?
> * How does food availability and size-specific mortality shape
> sexual size dimorphism, and, vice versa, how do differences in
> size between the sexes affect the feedback on food availability
> and population dynamics?
> * What is the effect of resource segregation between the sexes or
> between life-stages on the ecological dynamics of sexual dimorphic
> populations?
> * How is sexual size dimorphism shaped by evolution, resource
> availability, and developmental plasticity?

> DNA methylation.
>
> We will assess variation in DNA methylation due to climatic variation and
> its associations with genetic variation. We have performed ~16X coverage
> whole genome methylation sequencing for 80 lake whitefish (Coregonus
> clupeaformis) and 80 brook charr (Salvelinus fontinalis): 10 fish per
> species from eight sampling locations across a latitudinal climatic
> gradient in Hudson Bay and James Bay. We will combine these data with

>
>
> A postdoctoral research officer position is available at La Trobe
> University in Melbourne Australia.
>
> This position contributes to the ARC linkage project "Identifying hotspots
> of endemism for invertebrate conservation in south-east Australia",
> led by Prof. Heloise Gibb (La Trobe University) and including partners
> from Zoos Victoria, DEECA, Australian Museum, South Australian Museum,
> UNSW, Deakin and Monash University.
>
> This project will inform conservation planning by identifying the
> distributions and drivers of forest invertebrate diversity and endemism
> in south-eastern Australia and providing solutions for biodiversity
> protection and restoration. Focussing on the poorly-known and
> dispersal-limited leaf litter invertebrates of south-eastern Australian
> wet forests, the project will: 1. Document and georeference biodiversity;
> 2. Identify hotspots of endemism for conservation prioritisation and model
> their relationship with contemporary and past environments; 3. a) Estimate
> the loss of phylogenetic diversity caused by past and future environmental
> threats; and b) Predict where undiscovered endemic species persist.
>
> The position will contribute to field and lab collection and collation
> of data. They will model hotspots of endemism and how they relate to
> past environments and make predictions about how endemic species will be
> affected by global change. A key outcome will be publication of research
> in peer-reviewed journals that contributes to our understanding of current
> and future species distributions, including currently undescribed species.
> We are looking for applicants with a PhD in ecology, phylogenetics,
> biogeography or invertebrate biology, and specifically with skills in
> field collection, spatial analysis, DNA sequencing and phylogenetics
> and/or statistical modelling including analysis of phylogenetic endemism.

> Adaptive introgression in the Anthropocene
>
> We are looking for a 3 year postdoctoral research associate (PDRA) to work
> on a NERC-funded project "Adaptive introgression in the Anthropocene"
> led by Kanchon Dasmahapatra at the University of York. The main aim of
> the project is to understand the prevalence and impact of gene flow
> between native and non-native flowering plant species in the British
> Isles making use of newly generated genome assemblies and large whole
> genome resequence datasets.
>
> Human translocation of species and anthropogenic climate change are
> resulting in some of the fastest rates of species distribution changes
> ever seen, causing many native and non-native species to be brought
> together. While the ecological consequences are often well-documented,
> the evolutionary impacts of hybridization and gene flow between native
> and non-native species are usually less visible. In this ambitious
> project we will leverage reference genomes produced by the Darwin Tree
> of Life project and combine high-throughput sequencing with the latest
> bioinformatic methods to address a major question of growing importance:
> What is the extent of gene flow between native and non-native flowering
> plant species, and is this gene flow of adaptive value to native or
> non-native species? These data will be used to parameterise models
> predicting the rate of gene flow between native and non-native species,
> and test model estimates of cryptic gene flow among species pairs that
> have not been observed to hybridize. The British flora is intensively
> studied, and its well characterised distributions, hybrids and ecology
> make it an ideal model system to build predictive models exploring
> ecological and genetics factors affecting the rates and effects of gene
> flow between native and non-native species.
>
> The PDRA will be based in York at the Leverhulme Centre for Anthropocene
> Biodiversity (https://ift.tt/2nKeBct),
> and be supervised by Kanchon Dasmahapatra
