The research group ‘Eco-Evolutionary Dynamics’ at the Department of Evolutionary and Integrative Ecology of IGB invites applications for a 2-year postdoctoral position in modeling of eco-evolutionary community dynamics starting as soon as possible. The research group is located in Berlin-Friedrichshagen at Lake Müggelsee. We are seeking a highly motivated person who has a keen interest in theoretical questions about eco-evolutionary dynamics and has a passion for science.

The postdoctoral position is part of a DFG project and centres around addressing questions on eco-evolutionary dynamics of multi-species communities using theoretical modeling approaches. The candidate will focus on developing a mathematical model (e.g., preferably individual-based models) from basic equations to investigate questions at the interface of community ecology and evolutionary biology. The project's main objective will be to test how interactions between specific processes of community ecology (species sorting, ecological drift and dispersal) and evolutionary biology (selection, genetic drift and gene flow) shape eco-evolutionary community dynamics.

Your role

• Develop a theoretical model (e.g., individual-based, analytical differential equations) to tackle novel questions on eco-evolutionary dynamics in future scenarios of environmental change.
• Report results in scientific publication(s) and conference(s).
