Postdoctoral Fellows in the School of Biological Sciences (Ref.: 519951) (to commence as soon as possible for three years)

Applications are invited for appointment as Post-doctoral Fellow in The Biodiversity and Environmental Change Lab (www.louiseashton.net) at the University of Hong Kong

Applicants should possess a Ph.D. degree in insect ecology (or related) with experience in tropical field work. Knowledge of beetle identification is desirable but not essential. They should also have knowledge of a range of insect sampling techniques, the ability to organise remote field projects independently and collection management. Those who are going to complete the Ph.D. degree are also welcome. 

Our collaborative team includes Dr Louise Ashton, Dr Michael Boyle, Professor Timothy Bonebrake, Dr Jin Wu, Dr Eduardo Maeda, Professor Roger Kitching and Professor Nigel Stork. The appointee will join our project re-sampling previous insect biodiversity studies in Australia and Malaysia. We aim to understand insect dynamics through time in tropical forest habitats.

A competitive salary commensurate with qualifications and experience will be offered, in addition to annual leave and medical benefits.

The University only accepts online application for the above post. Applicants should apply online and upload an up-to-date C.V. together with a cover letter, a statement of their research interests and how they meet the selection criteria, and contact details of three referees.  Review of applications will start as soon as possible and continue until June 30, 2023, or until the post is filled, whichever is earlier.
