Doctoral student positions available at VALUE Doctoral Program In VALUE Doctoral Program, at least 2 full time Student positions and 4 to 6 Matching positions are available up to four years. When filling these positions, applications received by 30 October, 2011 (UTC+2) will be taken into consideration in the selection process.

See the call and instructions at http://value.oulu.fi/call2011Oct.html ----------- 另一個CASE的分隔線 ----------- ANNOUNCEMENT OF A GRADUATE STUDENT POSITION 27.9.2011 We announce a three-year graduate student position (tax-free stipend, 17 200 € annually including MYEL employment pension insurance) in the project “Contemporary evolution of animal personalities and life-histories in harvested freshwater systems”, funded by Emil Aaltonen foundation, and conducted mainly at the University of Oulu, Finland. The project will start at 2.1.2012 and last until 31.12.2014. The project aims to resolve how important fisheries-induced selection on fish personalities and associated life-history traits is in commercially and recreationally harvested freshwater systems. We will use Eurasian perch as the main model organism. We will combine methods of behavioural ecology, fish biology, animal physiology and theoretical ecology, and knowledge on one or more of these fields is required. Experimental work will require periodical stays at Kainuu Fisheries Research unit in Paltamo. The recruited PhD-student would join the University of Oulu Graduate School, and likely join the Biological Interactions Graduate School. We encourage applications from the most motivated candidates interested in fish biology and fisheries science, behavioural ecology, population genetics and mathematical modelling. Depending on the skills and orientation of the recruited PhD student, the dissertation can focus on any of these disciplines. Ability to work with wild fish is required, and good fishing skills are appreciated. Our research consortium (Dr. Anssi Vainikka and Dr. Jukka Forsman at the University of Oulu, Dr. Pekka Hyvärinen at the Finnish Game and Fisheries Research Institute, Dr. Timo Marjomäki at the University of Jyväskylä and Prof. Raine Kortet at the University of Eastern Finland, Joensuu kampus) offers excellent supportive team for the work. We appreciate and expect hard work when it is required, but offer freedom to take days off, when there is less to do. We expect the successful candidate to be fluent in English, since the research includes international collaboration, and the scientific reports will be written in English. We require some demonstrations of good writing skills, and therefore hope applications of two A4-pages where you describe in English, why you would be a suitable person for the work, how do you think fishing could induce selection on individual traits of fish and how fishing-induced selection could be minimized. Use of scientific references is desired. Please send your application together with your CV to [email protected] before 01.12.2011. You can also ask a recommendation letter from one referee to be sent separately to the e-mail address above. The best three candidates will be interviewed. Please ask for more information: Dr. Anssi Vainikka, tel. +358 500 443290 or [email protected].
