One post-doctoral position with fellowship funded by the São Paulo Research Foundation (FAPESP) is available to work on a project whose aims are: 1. Using seed traps, investigate the composition, richness and abundance of the seed rain in fragments of Atlantic Forest in the state of Alagoas, Brazil; 2. Assess recruitment limitation and its components (i.e., dispersal and establishment limitation) from seed rain and seedling establishment; 3. Evaluate the effect of environmental factors (fragment size, degree of degradation and isolation) and inherent plant factors (seed size, dispersal syndrome) on patterns of recruitment limitation; 4. Analyze a seed rain database already available for Atlantic Forest areas.
Applicants may have completed a PhD in Life Sciences (Ecology, Botany, Zoology or Biology), and present a CV that attests the capacity to publish papers on high-quality journals. Knowledge on landscape ecology (GIS), statistics (R), and collection and preservation of plants and seeds are highly desirable. Also, applicants must be available to live in São Paulo and Alagoas states, Brazil.
How to apply:
Deadline for submission is January 15, 2022. Applications exclusively by email (Marco A. Pizo – [email protected] ) by sending a short CV (three pages maximum), including previously published works attesting the candidate's capacity to carry out the project.
This opportunity is open to candidates of any nationality. The selected candidate will receive a FAPESP’s Post-Doctoral fellowship in the amount of R$ 7,373.10 monthly and a research contingency fund, equivalent to 10% of the annual value of the fellowship which should be spent in items directly related to the research activity.
