QUANTITATIVE PLANT CONSERVATION ECOLOGIST UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA, DAVIS
The College of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences, University of California, Davis, invites applications for a position at the tenure-track ASSISTANT PROFESSOR level, with the possibility of an appointment in the California Agricultural Experiment Station. This is one of eight positions in a Global Environmental Change and Conservation Biology cluster. We are looking for a strongly quantitative plant ecologist who examines the effects of large-scale environmental change by combining field and/or laboratory studies with innovative modeling techniques, state-of-the-art statistics, geospatial technology, or other advanced analytic approaches. We are especially interested in recruiting a quantitative plant conservation ecologist who has strong interests in how large-scale environmental change (e.g., climate change, deforestation, habitat fragmentation, biological invasions, and changes to hydrologic and nutrient cycling) will individually or interactively affect the abundance, distribution, and role in ecosystem functioning of plant species and communities in natural and/or managed ecosystems. A Ph.D. in an appropriate discipline is required by the time of appointment. Applicants for this position should have teaching interests in fields such as: plant conservation ecology, plant physiological ecology, plant population or community ecology, and advanced quantitative methods in statistics and modeling.
