Postdoctoral Position Trophic Interactions, Chemical Ecology, and Community/Ecosystem Genetics
University of Wisconsin - Madison A postdoctoral Research Associate position will be available spring/summer 2008 to work at the interface of plant genetics/chemistry, trophic interactions, and community/ecosystem ecology and evolution. Our research program explores the genetic basis of community dynamics and ecosystem processes, using poplar (aspen and cottonwood) as a model system. Specific research projects can be designed consistent with the interests of the individual. Research could be integrated with a large, multi-investigator, multi-institutional project funded under NSF’s Frontiers in Integrative Biological Research (FIBR) program. (See the feature article on “genes to ecosystems” by Whitham et al. [2006. Nature Reviews Genetics 7:510-523].) Primary responsibilities of the Research Associate are to develop, coordinate and execute pioneering studies relevant to the general theme of research in the Lindroth group. Specific areas of research are open, and candidates will be encouraged to develop new research avenues. For more information about our current research, see: http://entomology.wisc.edu/~lindroth/ Qualifications include expertise in any of the following: plant chemical analyses, trophic interactions, community genetics, and/or forest ecosystem dynamics. Strong interpersonal, laboratory, statistical and writing skills are essential. Salary and benefits: $33,000 - 36,000, commensurate with experience. Excellent family medical/dental health plans available at minimal cost. Duration of position: two years. Application: Applications will be accepted through April 15, 2008, or until a suitable applicant is found.
