FW: Postdoc advert: thermal physiology of fruit bats

[Elma Marais]

Dear SAWMA community,

 

Apologies if you are receiving many job adverts from me today. I have been on leave last week and am catching up on some emails this morning.

 

Attached is a Postdoctoral Fellowship Opportunity (1 January 2026 – 31 December 2027) on Southern African fruit bats in a warming world, offered by the

South African National Biodiversity Institute (SANBI) and the University of Pretoria (UP).

 

To apply, please send a CV (including your academic record, list of publications and names and contact details of two referees) and a 1-2 page motivation letter explaining your interest and suitability for this particular project to Prof. Andrew McKechnie at andrew.m...@up.ac.za (subject: ‘your surname’ Bat postdoc 2026). For more information on the Hot Birds Research Project and the Department of Zoology and Entomology at the University of Pretoria, please visit https://hbresearchproject.wixsite.com/hbresearchproject and https://www.up.ac.za/zoologyentomology, respectively.

 

Applications will remain open until the position is filled.

 

Kind regards,

Elma
