This week I’m at the job application for a permanent research position at Spanish CSIC. The first exercise (exposition of the CV) has started today, and I’ll probably give my talk on Wednesday. A lot of good researchers in ecology, as well as a few good friends. Tomorrow we’ll know whether the second exercise (research project) is this week or in two weeks’ time (probably the latter).
About The Author
Joaquín Hortal
I am a biogeographer with broad interests in macroecology, community ecology, island biogeography, insect ecology, evolution, and biodiversity research. My main research aim is to determine why biodiversity – and in particular community structure – is geographically distributed the way it is, and to identify the processes that domain the spatial and temporal dynamics of ecological assemblages. I work as Scientific Researcher at the Department of Biogeography and Global Change of the Natural History Museum in Madrid (MNCN), a research institute of the Spanish Scientific Council (CSIC). I am also External Professor at the Departamento de Ecologia of the Federal University of Goiás (UFG) in Brazil, and Associate Researcher of the Centre for Ecology, Evolution and Environmental Changes (cE3c) of the Faculty of Sciences of the University of Lisbon in Portugal.
