<div dir="ltr">If I were 30 years younger I'd apply and compete for this post-doc. I've known Dr Walker for decades and I have also done a little fieldwork on the Northern Tablelands of NSW. Here is just one word of warning for non-Australians. Australia is very expensive and while the salary looks very generous check the conversion rate of Australian into American dollars. How far the money goes becomes clear when you buy food, gasoline and pay rent.<div><br></div><div>Peter<br><div class="gmail_quote">---------- Forwarded message ----------<br>From: <b class="gmail_sendername">Caroline Gross</b> <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:cgross@une.edu.au">cgross@une.edu.au</a>></span><br>Date: Wed, Jun 1, 2016 at 12:16 AM<br>Subject: Postdoc in Pollination ~ opportunity in Australia - please circulate to your colleagues<br>To: Caroline Gross <<a href="mailto:cgross@une.edu.au">cgross@une.edu.au</a>><br><br><br>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;color:black">Dear Colleagues,<u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;color:black"><u></u> <u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;color:black">I am writing to tell you about a 3 yr postdoc opportunity in pollination. The University of New England (Australia) has just announced 10 postdoc positions with a closing
date for applications = end of July 2016. The applications are submitted by the UNE mentor and not directly by the postdoc.
</span><span style="font-size:12.0pt;color:black"><u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;color:black"><u></u> <u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;color:black">We are looking for an enthusiastic colleague to work with us on the importance of rural gardens for the dispersal of pollinators to native remnants and vice versa.</span><span style="font-size:12.0pt;color:black">
Rural gardens in our context are gardens (oases) in a grazing landscape where there are remnant patches of native vegetation and tree-belts established for rehabilitation- both at varying distances from the oases. The mentoring team is comprised of myself,
Dr Ken Walker (Museum Victoria), Dr Paulo de Souza (CSIRO) and Dr Romina Rader (UNE).<u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;color:black"><u></u> <u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;color:black">The project is based on the northern Tablelands of NSW, Australia, and the successful postdoc would be based at the University of New England (Armidale, NSW) for the
3 years, with fieldwork undertaken in the region. The scheme is open to Australian citizens, residents and non-residents.<u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;color:black"><u></u> <u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;color:black">The scheme is competitive. Depending on career stage, and based on the last round of postdocs positions, we would expect candidates to have at least 4 top notch peer
reviewed pubs in the field of pollination, or plant reproductive biology, or animal movement, etc, </span><span style="font-size:12.0pt;color:black"> to be in the running for this project in this scheme. We are looking for a colleague
who is keen to understand pollination network dynamics in a fragmented landscape.<u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;color:black"><u></u> <u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;color:black">Funding for projects will commence at Lecturer Level A, base +5 at a rate of AUD $80,328 per annum with annual increments. UNE also provides 17% employer superannuation.</span><span style="font-size:12.0pt;color:black"><u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;color:black"><u></u> <u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;color:black">I would be very grateful if you could pass this email on to potential postdocs in your area (PhD needs to be submitted, a driver's licence essential) who should send
their CVs to me (<a href="mailto:cgross@une.edu.au" target="_blank">cgross@une.edu.au</a>) and I will provide further details. Referees reports will be required during the application process.<u></u><u></u></span></p>
