Postdoc in management of biological systems under climate change An interdisciplinary global change research group at the University of Notre Dame seeks to fill a postdoctoral research position for an applied ecologist with computation and/or quantitative skills. The postdoc will join a multi-investigator team that studies strategies for managing biological systems under climate change (adaptation). Possible research projects are numerous within the area of geographic simulation modeling and model development to capture adaptation scenarios. The postdoc will be advised by Jessica Hellmann with regular consultation from Nitesh Chawla (computer science) and Jason McLachlan (biology). Opportunities abound for collaboration on adaptation policy as other members of the research team include a law professor and political scientist. The postdoc will help mentor grad students in computer science and undergraduates from diverse fields. An ability to write interdisciplinary publications and grants is strongly desired.
Position can begin immediately, but start date is negotiable. The selected candidate will receive an initial one-year appointment, but the position is currently funded for 18 months. Salary is competitive and commensurate with experience. Applications should be emailed to Jessica Hellmann ([email protected]), containing a cover letter, resume, sample publications, and the names of three referees. Review of applications will commence April 15, 2010 and continue until the position is filled. Inquiries should be directed via email to Jessica Hellmann.
