Divulgando oportunidade de pós-doc em filogeografia de aves na USP.
PD fellowship opportunity: Unraveling the origin of birds at the
Pernambuco Center of Endemism (PCE): using tools from historical
demography and comparative phylogeography to understand the responses
of their avifauna to past and future climatic dynamics
The Thematic Project "Evaluation, recovering, and conservation of the
endangered fauna of the Pernambuco Center of Endemism", financed by
FAPESP (São Paulo Research Foundation) and coordinated by Dr. Luís
Fábio Silveira (MZUSP, São Paulo), offers a postdoctoral fellowship
for a foreign or Brazilian candidate, who has completed a doctorate not
more than six years before the start of the scholarship, to attend the
sub-project “Unraveling the origin of birds at the Pernambuco Center of
Endemism (PCE): using tools from historical demography and comparative
phylogeography to understand the responses of their avifauna to past
and future climatic dynamics’’, under supervision of Dr. Luís
Fábio Silveira, from Museu de Zoologia da Universidade de São Paulo,
São Paulo state, Brazil.
The specific objectives are to apply molecular markers to perform
phylogeographic and demographic analysis of birds from Pernambuco Center
of Endemism, northeastern Brazil, and to correlate the results with past
and future climatic variables.
This opportunity is open to highly qualified Brazilians and foreigners. It
is essential the candidate to have experience and independency to perform
both field and laboratorial works, as well as statistical analyses and
manuscript preparations. The field work involves capturing birds with
the use of mist nets or other methods. It requires capability to drive
to the study areas and to interact and communicate with local people,
that can be hired as field assistants. Laboratory work will involve DNA
extraction, and the development and analyses of molecular markers, such as
microsatellites, UCES and SNPS. To achieve these purposes, the candidate
must be available to travel to Alagoas state to perform the field work
(in the first year), and to perform the laboratorial analyses at Museu
de Zoologia da Universidade de São Paulo, São Paulo, Brazil. The
selected candidate will be involved in the planning and execution of
the research activities mentioned in this notice and will also work in
the administration of the laboratory and co-orientation of graduate and
undergraduate students.
Values and conditions:
The scholarship lasts 36 months and includes: 1. Monthly income (free
of taxes) of R$ 7,373.10 (Brazilian currency),
plus 15% of the annual value for expenses related to research
(Technical Reserve);
2. Financial support for travel and installation expenses may be
requested for selected applicants and the merits will be analyzed by
FAPESP upon acceptance of the concession;
3. The candidate must have completed a doctorate not more than six years
before the start of the scholarship; before the start of the
scholarship;
4. The scholarship requires full dedication to the research project;
5. The grantee may not have any formal or informal employment, nor
receive, during the period of the fellowship, a scholarship from
another entity, salary or remuneration derived from the exercise of
activities of any nature.
6. For the implementation of the scholarship the selected candidate must
present all the documentation required by FAPESP.
For complete fellowship rules, go to: http://www.fapesp.br/270
How to apply:
The submission deadline is 25 October 2020. Registration exclusively by
email (l...@usp.br), with the subject "Post-doctoral ARCA project". The
following documentation, all in PDF format, is required:
1. An English text with a maximum of 2 pages explaining your motivations
to work on this project;
2. Summarized CV including all published papers in the area of
the project;
3. Two letters of recommendation from researchers;
4. Copy of the document attesting PhD/Doctorate conclusion (Diploma).
Selection
The selection of the applicants presenting the complete documentation will
be made based on candidate's numbers and quality of publications in the
area of the project (ornithology), and an interview. Only publications
on scientific journals will be considered, and the values attributed to
each publication will be 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0, or 2.5 depending on Journal
most recent impact factors (0.1-0.5; 0.6-1.0; 1.1-1.5, 1.6-2.0, and > 2.0,
respectively). In case of multiple candidates, only the top five ranked
applicants based on curriculum analysis will be invited to the interview
(via Skype). In the interview, the capacity of communication in English
and/or Portuguese; the experience in the areas of the project, as well as
the availability to develop the project will be addressed, and results of
this step can imply in the disqualification of the candidate. The result
of the selection will be informed by email to all the applicants, and
we will offer the opportunity for the result to be contested within
five days after its divulgation. In case of incapacity to develop any
part of the project, the fellow can be changed at any time during the
development of the project.
The selected candidate must submit the necessary documents for the FAPESP
scholarship application within 15 days after approval.

"Someone had collected each specimen; killed it; skinned it; stuffed
it; set it; or put it in preservative; pencil-scratched a label for it;
carried it cross-country; shipped it home; studied it; and classified
it - and then repeated this ritual over and over, countless millions of
times. For each specimen, someone had gone hungry and sleepless. Someone
alone in a remote and hostile territory had wept. Someone had perhaps
drowned, been murdered, suffered malaria, yellow fever, dysentery,
or typhus. Someone had certainly cursed and complained, though not so
much as we might expect. Someone had said, "hunh!!" And someone had
rejoiced… A fine discovery stirs the heart of a collector. He forgets
hardships and troubles, and remembers only that he has given something
to science, taken from Nature on of her secrets. A little secret!,
some may say, but naturalists do not think so." Richard Conniff.
