Post-doctoral Position in Evolutionary Ecology I am searching for a creative, motivated post-doc interested in evolutionary ecology. Applicants may propose their own research project or collaborate on one of the current lab projects investigating how rapid environmental changes impact the ecology and evolution of species interactions. Ongoing lab projects include studies on: 1) the demographic, community, and evolutionary consequences of global warming; 2) plant evolutionary responses to long-term nitrogen deposition; or 3) the impact of temporal variation on weed evolutionary responses in agro-ecosystems. For more details on research conducted in the Lau lab see https://www.msu.edu/~jenlau/. The primary responsibility of the post-doc will be to develop a new project or take the lead on one of the above-mentioned existing projects, including implementation of experiments, data analysis, and manuscript preparation. The post-doc will be housed at Michigan State Universitys Kellogg Biological Station (http://www.kbs.msu.edu/) in Hickory Corners, Michigan.
Applicants must have (or nearly so) a Ph.D. in Ecology, Evolution, Plant Biology or a related field, and should have experience performing large manipulative field and/or greenhouse experiments, analyzing data, and completing manuscripts. Two years of funding are available. The position is available immediately, although the start date is flexible. Interested parties should email a cover letter explaining why they are interested in the position, a CV, and a brief statement of research interests to [email protected]. Evaluation of applications will begin 17 April 2009 and continue until the position has been filled.
