Travis Huxman, Larry Venable and I have postdoc funding for an individual who can work with us on linking ecological and evolutionary processes in a community of Sonoran Desert winter annuals. The goal of the project is to investigate whether the key tradeoff between growth and stress tolerance that structures the community presents a deeper constraint on plant phenotypes that operates within each species. The ideal candidate will have a background in community ecology, plant physiological ecology and quantitative genetics. We are looking for someone to begin in the fall (start date flexible) and we have funding for three years, should the individual develop a satisfactory program. There will be opportunities to work at the University of Arizona and Colorado State University, where the facilities and communities are first rate. This is a nice opportunity for someone interested in linking subdisciplines in ecology and evolution in an experimental setting.
To apply, please send a brief letter of research interests, CV and the names of three references by email to Amy Angert ([EMAIL PROTECTED]).
