I have two openings in my lab at the University of Nevada, Reno: a post-doctoral researcher (PhD required) and a research technician position.
The main project for both positions is to conduct restoration trials with native species in former agricultural lands. This project is part of a large, multi-disciplinary, multi-investigator project at UNR and the Desert Research Institute (DRI). This work is ongoing, and the ideal start date for both positions is as soon as possible. POST-DOCTORAL POSITION: I am looking for a plant population biologist interested in genetic issues in restoration. In addition to the primary restoration experiments, I am looking for someone to take part in ongoing projects in my lab, and develop new experiments and proposals based on our mutual interests. My research includes work on the population biology of native and invasive Great Basin species, rapid evolution of adaptive traits, and basic questions involving plant-herbivore interactions. The applicant could have interests in ecological genetics (in field and common garden settings) or molecular lab techniques, though a motivated individual with a variety of interests in plant ecology would also fit in well. Postdoc salary is 35,000-40,000 + benefits, for 18 months, with possibilities for extension. TECNICIAN POSTION: This position will have many of the same elements described above, and will work closely with the post-doc. A PhD is not required. Technician salary is 25,000-30,000, + benefits, for 18 months.
