Description
Max Planck Institute for Demographic Research
seeks up to 10 Ph.D., Post-Doc and Research Scientists to pursue
Theoretical Evolutionary Demography across the Tree of Life
• The length of life is long for some species and short for others. What underlying processes govern lifespan?
• Some species suffer senescence after reproductive maturity whereas others enjoy extended periods of constant or decreasing mortality and constant or increasing fertility. What fundamental dynamics explain mortality and fertility trajectories?
• Species differ in body size, growth rates, age at first reproduction, number and size of offspring, parental care and sociality. What general principles produce this diversity?
Exploiting phylogenetic knowledge about coalescence times and the characteristics of species across the tree of life, the EvoDemo group will use mathematical methods, biological theory, and demographic and economic concepts to develop unifying frameworks and discover deep connections by focusing on these basic questions. The group will pursue interdisciplinary research at the intersection of
mathematical modeling and optimization, demography, phylogenetics, comparative biology, life history theory, and evolutionary ecology.
The Max Planck Society is committed to employing handicapped individuals. The Society wishes to increase the share of women researchers.
