We are hiring a postdoc! Insect dynamics through time in the tropics

Are insects declining in the tropics? We aim to understand insect dynamics through time in tropical forest habitats. We are looking for a team member to join our new project re-sampling historical insect biodiversity studies in Australia and Malaysia. 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.

Applications are invited for a three year 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 or moth identification is desirable but not essential. The applicant 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 in the near future are also welcome.
