Doctoral Position in Behavioural Ecology Beginning

vor 3 Monaten


Berlin, Berlin, Deutschland Leibniz-Institut für Zoo- und Wildtierforschung Vollzeit

The Leibniz Institute for Zoo and Wildlife Research (IZW) in Berlin is Germany's premier wildlife research institute, one of seven research institutes in the Forschungsverbund Berlin e.

V., a member of the Leibniz Association and jointly funded by the German federal and state governments.

The Leibniz-IZW focuses on the life histories and mechanisms of evolutionary adaptations of mammals and birds, on the limits of these mechanisms in natural and anthropogenically influenced environments, and on conservation strategies that better take these factors into account.

The institute operates within the fields of evolutionary ecology, ecological dynamics, evolutionary genetics, wildlife diseases, reproduction biology and reproduction management.

In its Department of
Evolutionary Ecology, we offer (beginning on
June 1st,
2023) a

Doctoral position

in Behavioural Ecology


This position is part of an international, collaborative research project on the evolution of despotic societies in mammals ("DESPOT"), co-funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG) and the French Research Agency (ANR).

In this project, we aim to understand the evolutionary origins of variation in social relationships and hierarchical structures in group-living mammals.

The Ngorongoro spotted hyena population consists of eight social groups ('clans') and has been continuously monitored for 27 years.

There has been considerable variation in the socio-demographic and ecological characteristics within clans over time and between clans that can be exploited during this project.

The empirical data for the doctorate is already largely available but there is the possibility to collect additional data on the spotted hyenas in Tanzania.


Prerequisites:

  • Completed university degree (Master of Science or Diploma) in animal behaviour, behavioural ecology, evolutionary biology;
  • Good knowledge of English (ability to work in English, written and spoken),
  • Good knowledge of R for data wrangling and analysis;
  • A solid background in statistics or willingness to quickly improve skills;
  • Good interpersonal and communication skills;
  • Strong selfmotivation and rigour;
  • Experience in monitoring the social behaviour of animals.

Beneficial:

  • Experience in conducting field work in remote areas;
  • Driver's licence;
  • Experience in working with individualbased, longitudinal datasets;
  • Experience in R programming.

Recommended reading:

  • Vullioud, Davidian _et al_ Social support drives female dominance in the spotted hyaena.
_Nature Ecology & Evolution_ 3: 71-76.

We offer state-of-the-art methodology and a stimulating research environment with an interdisciplinary, collaborative approach.

The position is expected to start on
1 June 2023 and is limited to
three years. Salary and benefits will be according to 65 % TVöD (Bund). Place of work is at the Leibniz-IZW premises in the vibrant city of Berlin, Germany.
