PhD STUDENTSHIPS IN SYSTEMATIC ZOOLOGY

UPPSALA UNIVERSITY

Two PhD studentships in systematic zoology are available at the
Evolutionary Biology Centre, Uppsala University starting in January 1999. A
studentship includes monetary support for four years of full time research
training and research and leads to a PhD. We are looking for candidates
that are interested in one of the following areas: 1) theoretical
systematics, particularly methods and algorithms of phylogenetic inference,
gene tree comparisons, and analyses of coevolution and historical
biogeography; 2) comparative morphology and anatomy, molecular phylogeny,
and evolution of insect-parasitic and plant-parasitic insects, particularly
gall wasps; 3) biodiversity research with emphasis on systematics and
taxonomy of parasitic wasps. For further information, contact Prof. Fredrik
Ronquist, email: fredrik.ronquist at zoologi.uu.se.

If you are interested, send:
1. Curriculum vitae.
2. Two letters of recommendation.
2. Copy of B.Sc. thesis or equivalent.
3. Copies of scientific papers, if applicable (not more than 3).
4. Short account of your background and research interests.
