<b>Position Summary:</b><br>
We are looking for a candidate who uses applied or theoretical macroecology<br>
approaches to provide insight and understanding into the patterns and<br>
processes shaping species diversity, ecological systems and community<br>
ecology. The successful candidate should have interests in animal study<br>
systems and proven field skills, and will be expected to lead an original<br>
and innovative scientific research programme and contribute to the<br>
development of the discipline areas of ecology and zoology. Classic<br>
ecological questions amenable to study through the techniques of<br>
macroecology, and relevant to this post, include questions of species<br>
richness, latitudinal gradients in species diversity, the species-area<br>
curve, range size, body size, and species abundance. The candidate should<br>
complement and engage with current academic staff and research programmes<br>
within the School and wider UCD community.<br clear="all"><br></div>
