[交流] PhD position available

Please find below an advertisement for a PhD position in our Department.
I would be most grateful if you could bring this information to the attention of suitable candidates.
The Institute of Earth Sciences of the University of Graz, Austria invites applications for a
PhD position in Freshwater Palaeoecology
within the project "Biogeography, ecology and taxonomy of the Neotropical ostracod Cytheridella" funded by the Austrian Sciences Fond (FWF).
Objectives
The project aims at investigations of interrelationships between phenotypic variability, geographical distribution, and environmental conditions of the common Neotropical freshwater ostracod genus Cytheridella. Therefore we intend to analyse intraspecific morphological variability within and between populations in relation to ecological conditions, various habitats and site specific geochemical signatures. This actualistic approach will provide essential information which can be applied to fossil Cytheridella populations.
Position
The successful candidate will be responsible for a variety of topics, including microfossil preparation, stable isotope measurements, data management and interpretation, and assistance during field work.
Qualifications
We are looking for an enthusiastic ecologist with a strong and proven interest in (palaeo)biology, geochemistry (i.e., stable isotopes), hydrochemistry, and freshwater ecosystems. The candidate should have an MSc degree (or equivalent) in ecology, biology or closely related field. A multidisciplinary interest, the ability to collaborate in a group, and a strong motivation to obtain a PhD degree are essential.
Conditions
The position is funded for 36 months and the workplace will be at the Institute of Earth Sciences, University of Graz, and the PhD will be performed within the Doctoral School of Earth Sciences of the University of Graz (http://erdwissenschaften.uni-gra ... hule/index_de.php).
The appointment will be according to the conditions stipulated by the FWF, including salary and
benefits, which are available online at: http://www.fwf.ac.at/de/projects/personalkostensaetze.html.
Interested candidates should send a CV, a motivation letter and a letter of recommendation via Email to werner.piller@uni-graz.at<mailto:werner.piller@uni-graz.at>. The deadline for applications is November 30th, 2013.

Thanks in advance,
Claudia
