A new initiative in Adaptation to Changing Environments (ACE) at ETH Zurich invites applicants for up to 4 PhD fellowships

A new initiative in Adaptation to Changing Environments (ACE) at ETH Zurich
invites applicants for up to 4 PhD fellowships in the areas of ecology,
evolution, and genomics. ACE has been established to connect the rapidly
increasing availability of genomic information to ecological dynamics, as
mediated by rapid evolutionary change. Postdocs, graduate students, and
faculty will interact in a single center located on the ETH campus in
Zurich. Those interested in applying their backgrounds in ecology,
evolution, and genomics to the goals of the center are encouraged to apply.

The following topical areas are emphasized for this first round of
applicants:

Genomics of ecologically relevant traits

Eco-evolutionary dynamics of species interactions

Evolutionary responses to changing environmental conditions

Projects will range from the theoretical to empirical, and will be
conducted in collaboration with several ETH faculty participating in ACE
(see website). PhD positions are for three years. Work-related interactions
will be in English and salaries are adequate to take advantage of the high
quality of life in Zurich. Requirements include a Master degree or
equivalent in biology, environmental sciences or bioinformatics, fluency in
English, and good communication skills.

Your application includes a research statement, including one to two
paragraphs describing how your research interests relate to the center and
associated faculty, a curriculum vitae, and the contact information for
three references. Application review will begin October 15, 2014, and
continue until the positions are filled.
