<P class=MsoNormal>There is a PhD position available in the lab of Jason
Tylianakis at the University of Canterbury. Jason is a great guy, brilliant,
and Kiwi PhD programs are typically shorter than Canadian ones.</P>

<P class=MsoNormal>We have a three-year, funded PhD position in our research
group to work within a larger project on the enhancement of pollination
services. There will be some flexibility in the PhD project, but it should
involve at least a component on landscape-scale interactions between floral
phenology and pollinator visitation patterns in arable and fruit crops. It
would also be an option to incorporate network approaches into the analysis,
to make use of the group’s existing strengths in this area. The position will
come with a stipend ($25,000NZ p.a.) for living costs, tuition fees covered,
and there will be funding available for research costs. The student will be
based at the University of Canterbury, NZ, but working in collaboration with
Drs. David Pattemore, Brad Howlett and Jan Grant from Plant & Food
Research. This position is funded through a 6-year research program led by
Plant & Food Research that aims to develop alternative crop pollination
systems to complement managed honey bees. <BR><BR><BR><B>Required
background</B><BR><BR>The applicant must be self-motivated and passionate
about science, with an honours or masters degree (involving a research
component) in ecology, entomology or a related discipline. Experience in
insect identification would be an advantage, as would a strong background in
analysis. The start date is flexible, but the student should be able to begin
by mid 2014 at the latest, to prepare for the southern-hemisphere field season
beginning in September/October.<BR><BR><B>Application</B><BR><BR>Please submit
a CV and cover letter describing your background, career aspirations, and why
you are interested in this position. Please also provide the names of three
referees who would be willing and available to provide a reference during the
coming weeks. <BR><BR>There is no closing date, and the search will
continue until a suitable candidate has been found.<BR><BR>To apply or for
further information please contact Prof. Jason Tylianakis
(jason.tylianakis@canterbury.ac.nz)</P>
