以色列海法大学招聘昆虫生理学博士后
A 24-month (with possible extension) funded postdoctoral position is currently available in the laboratory of Dr. Eran Gefen, Department of Biology and Environment, University of Haifa- Oranim, Israel (http://research.haifa.ac.il/~biology/Eran/Eran.html). The position is part of a collaborative project with the laboratory of Prof. Amir Ayali, at the
Department of Zoology, Tel Aviv University (http://www.tau.ac.il/~ayali/).

The postdoc will be involved in laboratory experiments, as well as in field collections and maintenance of laboratory reared stocks. The position also includes opportunities for development of independent projects.
Applicants should have a Ph.D. by the time of appointment. Preference will be
given to highly motivated individuals interested in insect ecophysiology and with previous experience in respirometry. The position start date is negotiable, preferably before January 2013. Interested candidates should submit a letter of interest,
