This just looks cool, in the bizarre and silly way I think some science should be done:<\/p>\n
\nbq. A one-year post-doctoral position funded by the Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique is available in our research unit “Ecology &
\nEvolution” CNRS\/ University Pierre & Marie CURIE (Paris 6).<\/p>\n
\nIn the context of growing urbanisation, understanding the functioning of natural populations inhabiting cities is required. The research project aims at identifying the particular selective pressures exerted by the urban environment, focusing on genetic and phenotypic differentiation of feral pigeons in relation to environmental factors. It is in line with an interdisciplinary project (more details in French at http:\/\/pigeons.u-psud.fr\/ ).\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
\nThe candidate will have strong interest and experience in evolutionary ecology, population genetics, ornithology, and\/or GIS, and being able of strong autonomy, creativity, organisational and relational skills.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
