Postgraduate scholarships and post doc positions in Insect Chemical Ecology Department of Ecology, Section of Chemical Ecology and Ecotoxicology, Lund University We advertise postgraduate scholarships and post doc positions as part of a strategic initiative to strengthen research collaboration between the research groups in Insect Chemical Ecology at Lund University and the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences at Alnarp (The Linnéus initiative ICE-3). The two research groups, currently comprising more than 50 scientists, students and technicians, form a strong cross-disciplinary environment including research on ecology and evolutionary biology, neurobiology, physiology, molecular biology and genomics, as well as more applied aspects including pest control and conservation biology. Four postgraduate scholarships (deadline for application May 15th or 21st, 2008, depending on position): - Thrips chemical ecology - Evolution of novel pheromones - Pheromone strains, host plant races and speciation - Chemical pollination ecology Three post doc positions (will be filled when suitable candidates are found): - Chemical ecology of bed bugs - Molecular analysis of moth pheromone production - Pheromone identification and biosynthesis The starting date is negotiable but preferably as soon as possible.
