Hello, We are looking for an ecology postdoc to do climate change related work. Would you kindly post this on Ecolog? Thanks very much, Sue
Post doc position available: U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), Canyonlands Research Station, Moab, UT is seeking an Ecologist to study how climate change will affect plant communities and dust production in the Upper Colorado River Basin. Major duties include using complex and multivariate statistics to analyze vegetation and climate data compiled from National Parks throughout the Upper Colorado Plateau to document how species and functional groups have responded to past climatic regimes. These results will be used to model likely future changes in cover for the dominant plant communities in this region; integrating vegetation and climate predictions, available wind soil erosion models, and data on dust production from different soils to predict and map likely future dust source/sink patterns and amounts; summarizing research results for distribution/communication to a general audience; and reporting research results as high quality, peer-review publications. This is a one year, TERM, full-time appointment, GS-11, starting at $55,494 year, plus full benefits. Applicants must be U.S. Citizens. Interested parties please contact [EMAIL PROTECTED], or apply online at www.usajobs.gov, announcement WR-2008-0610. Applications due 8/18/08. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sue Phillips USGS- Southwest Biological Science Center Canyonlands Research Station 2290 S.W.
