RESEARCH ASSOCIATE/POST-DOCTORAL FELLOW COMMUNITY ECOLOGY DEPARTMENT OF BIOLOGY UNIVERSITY OF SOUTH FLORIDA Applications are invited for a postdoctoral researcher to study interactions among community composition, climate change, pollution, and disease risk, with an emphasis on conservation of species in freshwater communities, especially amphibians. Experience in one or more of the following areas are required (in priority order): food web or disease modeling, GIS, freshwater community-level mesocosm studies, immunology, parasitology, meta-analyses, amphibian ecology, or freshwater algal or zooplankton identification. The postdoc is funded by NSF and USDA grants awarded to Dr. Jason Rohr (University of South Florida, formerly of Penn State University) and Dr. Peter Hudson (Penn State University). The specific responsibilities of the postdoc are somewhat open-ended and thus the position offers great flexibility. We are ultimately looking for the most promising and productive candidate whose skills most complement our present research team. The postdoc will be based in the Biology Department at the University of South Florida (Tampa, FL; http://www.cas.usf.edu/biology/) and will have opportunities to work with the PI (Jason Rohr; http://www.ento.psu.edu/Personnel/Faculty/rohr.htm, http://www.cidd.psu.edu/people/bio_rohr.html), the Co-PI (Peter Hudson; http://www.cidd.psu.edu/people/bio_hudson.html), and collaborators on the grants, as well as another postdoc, a technician, and graduate students in the laboratory. The start date is flexible but applicants should be available to start sometime during fall 2007. Applicants should send a cover letter, CV, brief statement of research interests (2 pages), and list of references (preferably as a single pdf) to Dr. Jason Rohr ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) with the subject line of the email reading Postdoc Application (insert last name).
