Ecological Stoichiometry and Paleoecology: Umeå University, Sweden, announces two associate senior lecturer positions. The positions are announced as part of the research programme Ecosystem Change which includes ecologists, environmental scientists, evolutionary biologists, bio-mathematicians, and biogeochemists. The focus of our research is on the complex interplay between external drivers such as climate, energy and matter inputs, and physical habitat structure and internal mediators (biological transformers of energy and material) to predict community and ecosystem responses to environmental changes. We are now looking for two young and visionary scientists in the areas of ecological stoichiometry and paleoecology to complement and strengthen our expertise in the research environment. Ecological stoichiometry (reference number 312-224-11) The holder of the position should carry out research within the area of ecological stoichiometry, defined in a broad context. We are looking for a researcher who could study how the flow of energy and matter is coupled to the dynamics of populations, communities and whole ecosystems in a bidirectional way. Research may include studies of elemental and stoichiometric constraints on individual performance and life history, and/or on the structure, function, and productivity of ecological systems, as well as studies of feedbacks of population and community dynamics, on flows and transformations of energy and matter. Paleoecology (reference number 312-225-11) The holder of the position should have one of two nonexclusive research profiles, both aimed at strengthening the integration between research in paleoecology, ecology and evolution in the research environment. One possible research profile is in aquatic paleoecology to study lake-ecosystem dynamics across limnological and paleolimnological timescales (Holocene), integrating geochemical and ecological/evolutionary research. Here, we particularly encourage applications from scientists using up-to-date paleolimnological approaches such as molecular genetic, spectroscopic or biogeochemical methods. An alternative research profile is in evolutionary paleoecology to address evolutionary questions with paleoecological methods, to enhance the ongoing integration of paleoecology with research in evolution and biogeography, and in collaboration with researchers in macroevolution, macroecology, phylogenetics or population genetics. The duration of a position as associate senior lecturer is four years of research, and can be expanded to five years with 20 % of teaching. At the end of the employment period, an associate senior lecturer owns the right to be examined for a permanent position as senior lecturer at Umeå University. The assessment criteria for such an examination are described in the corresponding job profile. To be eligible, in the first place, for the position as associate senior lecturer you should have a PhD, or a corresponding degree, which is not more than five years old, in a relevant field such as ecology, evolutionary biology, environmental science or biogeochemistry. An associate senior lecturer should primarily pursue research. The successful applicant is expected to create his/her own research group and to supervise graduate students as well as post-docs. He/she is also expected to attract research grants from external sources of funding and to have a vivid collaboration with scientists at both Umeå University and other universities. In the evaluation, particular emphasis will be given to scientific skills.

Chair in Rangeland Ecology and Management: Applications are invited for the Mattheis Chair in Rangeland Ecology and Management in the Faculty of Agricultural, Life & Environmental Sciences (ALES), University of Alberta. The position is the vision of Edwin and Ruth Mattheis who believe in the need to broaden knowledge and understanding in Rangeland Ecology and Management. Rangelands are abundant on private and public land across western Canada. In addition to supporting livestock production, rangelands are a key reservoir of biodiversity and play an important role in maintaining wildlife habitat, conserving soils and providing clean water. Rangelands are also being increasingly recognized for their ability to support global life systems through the provision of essential ecosystem services such as mitigating climate change via carbon sequestration and storage, water purification via bioremediation, and the conservation of genetic material. Despite their widespread importance, the ecosystem services provided by many rangelands, particularly those in the prairie region, are among the most threatened in Canada as land uses such as intensive agriculture, energy exploration, recreation and urban sprawl continue to intensify. The conservation and sustainable use of remaining rangelands depends on the gathering of relevant and new information regarding their biology/ecology, function and fundamental response to management systems. This is the primary mandate of the Mattheis Chair in Rangeland Ecology and Management. This position is interdisciplinary and will build capacity in at least one, and likely several, of the Faculty's major research themes, including Sustainable Land, Forest and Water Management, Global Food Systems, and Healthy Human Environments. The position will spearhead the development of a Rangeland Ecology and Management Research Centre at the University of Alberta. The successful candidate will be expected to establish a leading research, teaching and extension program in various aspects of applied ecology, grazing management, livestock husbandry, and production economics for the Mixedgrass Prairie region. The successful candidate will have a PhD and be of sufficient seniority to warrant a tenured appointment at the rank of either Full Professor or Associate Professor. He/she should have a proven track record in university teaching and research in one or more areas such as range science, grazing management, pasture science or applied ecology. The incumbent will also have strong leadership and communication skills, have a track record of working effectively in interdisciplinary projects involving industry, government, other researchers and public interest groups, and have the ability to engage in productive dialogue and debate over controversial issues. The Faculty of Agricultural, Life & Environmental Sciences (ALES) is a science-based faculty that is uniquely positioned. Our professors and students draw from the natural sciences, the social sciences and the arts and humanities to seek comprehensive solutions to some of the key challenges our province, country and world face today. ALES was founded in 1915 and has a long and rich history, tracing back to one of the oldest Faculties and earliest Departments at the University of Alberta. Teaching, research and community engagement within the Faculty are focused on healthy human environments; the sustainability of land, forests and water; the biological, economic, social and technological underpinnings of the bio-products industry; and global food systems. Letters of application, including a curriculum vitae and the names of three referees should be sent by February 1, 2011 however, the competition will remain open until filled.
