[Pollinator] Fwd: Postdoc in Pollination ~ opportunity in Australia - please circulate to your colleagues

[Peter Bernhardt]

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.

Dear Colleagues,



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.



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.  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).



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.



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,   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.



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.



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 (cgross at une.edu.au) and I will
provide further details. Referees reports will be required during the
application process.



Thanks very much!



Best regards, Caroline Gross
