A postdoctoral research scientist position (2-3 yr) is available at the University of Wyoming in the laboratory of Dr. Kiona Ogle (Botany Department; www.uwyo.edu\oglelab <http://www.uwyo.edu/oglelab> ). The postdoc will be responsible for leading a project that is dedicated to synthesizing existing data related to carbon and water fluxes, spanning leaves to ecosystems, across four major deserts in the Southwest. This is a collaborative project involving scientists from the University of Arizona, University of Nevada-Las Vegas, University of California-Santa Cruz, and Texas Tech; the modeling and synthesis work will be conducted in Dr. Ogle's lab. A primary goal of the synthesis work is to explore the effects of altered precipitation on arid and semiarid ecosystems. Data are to be synthesized within a Bayesian hierarchical modeling framework that facilitates simultaneous coupling of diverse data sources and mechanistic models. For more information about the project, see: www.uwyo.edu/oglelab/research.html (Carbon and water dynamics in deserts of the Southwest). For position requirements and application process, see: www.uwyo.edu/oglelab/prospectives.html. The start date is negotiable, but is before May 31, 2007; application review begins Jan 1, 2007. If you have questions, please contact Dr. Kiona Ogle ([EMAIL PROTECTED]).
