Post-doctoral research in plant ecology, Utah State University I am seeking a post-doc to conduct research on the persistence of plant populations under climate change in semiarid ecosystems. The project involves both population modeling based on unique, historical datasets and experimental manipulations of rainfall. The successful applicant will have considerable freedom to develop a research focus within the outlines of this project, or on related topics such as shifts in plant species ranges. This is a one year position funded by NSF, with a salary of $34,000 and a generous benefits package. Although there is a possibility of extending the position a second year, the successful applicant should plan on working with me to develop proposals for additional funding. Additional information on my research is available at http://www.cnr.usu.edu/faculty/adler/. Utah State is a wonderful place to work thanks to its proximity to desert, steppe, and montane habitats, the large ecology program, a very low cost of living, and quick access to world class outdoor recreation.
To apply, please email me a CV, a statement of research interests, and contact information for three references. Peter Adler Dept. Wildland Resources 5230 Old Main Hill Utah State University Logan, UT 84322 [EMAIL PROTECTED]
