Travis Huxman, Amy Angert and Larry Venable have postdoc funding for an individual who can work with us on linking the physiological ecology of individual species to population and community dynamics in a of suite of Sonoran Desert annuals. We are looking for someone with a good understanding of and interest in community ecology, theories of species coexistence, demography or plant physiological ecology. A good background in statistics and computer programing is also essential. We have funding for three years, should the individual develop a satisfactory program. This is an excellent opportunity for someone who may be interested in linking subdisciplines in ecology in both a theoretical and experimental setting. The facilities and people in the Department of Ecology and Evolution at the University of Arizona in Tucson are outstanding. The experimental system (desert annuals at the University of Arizona's Desert Laboratory with 26 years of demographic vital rate data) are especially amenable to investigation how species functional traits contribute to population and community dynamics.
Please contact us at Larry Venable ( [email protected]), Travis Huxman ([email protected]), or Amy Angert ([email protected]) for further details.
