Subject: [ECOLOG-L] two postdoc positions
Two postdoctoral positions in phytoplankton traits and models of community
structure
We are looking for two postdoctoral researchers to develop trait-based
approaches to plankton ecology. One position will focus on applying
statistical approaches to relate traits to phylogenies, environmental
gradients, and each other. The other position will develop trait-based
mathematical models. Ideally these two postdocs will find ways to
collaborate.
Basic qualifications are a PhD in ecology, oceanography, limnology or
related field and a strong interest in trait-based approaches and
quantitative ecology. The first position requires familiarity with
multivariate statistics, the second position requires modeling experience,
preferably trait-based modeling approaches (e.g., adaptive dynamics). For
both positions, knowledge of phytoplankton ecology, limnology, or
oceanography is a plus. These positions are supported by a recently funded
NSF grant "Phytoplankton Traits, Functional Groups and Community
Organization: A Synthesis" and a grant from the James S. McDonnell
Foundation, "Plankton Community Assembly: Theory and Practice."
The postdocs will be based at the Kellogg Biological Station of Michigan
State University (www.kbs.msu.edu). Each position is for one year with a
possibility of renewal, given satisfactory performance. Send a cover letter
describing your research interests and experience, current CV and names of 3
references to Elena Litchman ([log in to unmask]) by January 31, 2010. For
questions, please contact Elena Litchman or Chris Klausmeier
