International Chair In Evolutionary Marine Ecology

LabexMER (laboratoires d'excellence), a newly created consortium of French Universities and Institutions is enthusiastically inviting applications for an international chair in Evolutionary Marine Ecology to be housed at the European University of Brittany and the European Institute for Marine Studies in Brest, France. 
This chair aims to promote research on both the evolutionary influences on ecological processes and on the ecological influences on evolutionary processes, using both theoretical and experimental approaches.

The successful applicant will have to bring expertise in the following set of scientific issues:

1. The links between the evolutionary and ecological processes for a better understanding of the mechanisms that drive the dynamics of the functional biodiversity.

2. The effects of the planetary changes on the organisms, the populations and the communities (especially in terms of acclimation, adaptation, etc.).

The chair is set up for a duration of three years. It is awarded with a grant of 200,000 €/year.
