The Department of Biology is offering one to two 12-16 month postdoctoral fellowships in freshwater biology, with a compulsory start date anytime during 2009. We are looking for highly qualified non-Swedish applicants within the field of freshwater biology, whose research fits in well with ongoing research at the Department. The applicant will have access to a newly-built, 250 m2 aquarium facility, equipped with aquaria and replicate artificial streams. Research at the Department is focused on freshwater biology and conservation biology in forest landscapes. Faculty are currently studying questions concerning fragmented landscapes, interactions between the riparian zone and stream communities, fish migrations, fish passage and stocking problems associated with stream regulation, rare species (river pearl mussel), winter ecology of fish, ecophysiology of fish and hydrological restoration. Some of the faculty participate in a multidisciplinary research group together with social scientists and work on questions of sustainability and resource management in streams. Much of Biology’s research is done in cooperation with external agencies, for example the county boards, Highway Administration, Forestry Board, hydropower companies, etc. We also cooperate with Norwegian agencies such as NINA and the University College of Hedmark.
The applicant is requested to submit a CV, a list of publications, a description of research interests, a brief description of what you would like to work with at Karlstad University and three letters of reference. Application deadline is 21 October 2009 but late applications may be considered if a suitable candidate is not found. All application materials can be sent to Larry Greenberg, Dept of Biology, Karlstad University, S-651 88, Karlstad, Sweden or sent via e-mail to Larry.Greenberg@kau.se. The fellowship pays the equivalent of 20 000 Swedish crowns per month tax-free, the total amount dependent upon the duration of the fellowship (12-16 months). For further information contact Larry Greenberg at the above e-mail address or at the telephone number +46-54-7001543.
