Ph.D. student in Behavioural and Evolutionary Ecology (University of Antwerp, BELGIUM)
25.07.2011

The project aims to study the evolutionary ecology of phenotypic plasticity by integrating behaviour, physiology and endocrinology using avian species, both in the field (blue tit) and in the lab (canary); possible lines of research are:
• Sources of variation in phenotypic plasticity and their functional consequences
• Developmental responses to (anthropogenic) change and stress: grow now - pay later
• Life-long consequences of (developmental) stress – the endocrine and epigenetic mechanisms that link early life experiences with behaviour and health in later life
• Trans-generational effects: transmission and inheritance of phenotypic changes across three generations (spanning up to the grandchildren)
• Maternal engineering and individual optimization by the offspring: appropriate developmental trajectories in response to environmental cues and changes.

Closing date: 31.08.11.
