Postdoctoral research opportunity in evolutionary ecology of species' borders
The Keitt Lab at the University of Texas at Austin seeks a postdoctoral investigator to join an interdisciplinary NSF-funded project linking ecophysiology, genomics and climate change. The successful candidate will collaborate in research to elucidate environmental and physiological determinants of distribution and biomass production of switchgrass, a North American biofuel candidate species. Desired qualifications include expertise in one or more of the following specializations: 1) plant physiological ecology, 2) quantitative modeling, 3) spatial population genetics, 4) species distribution modeling, 5) climate data analysis and 6) GIS application development. This is a full-time, 1-year research position, renewable up to 3 years, starting fall 2010. The first year may optionally be taken at Estación Biológica de Doñana, Sevilla, Spain. (I will be there on sabbatical 8/2010-7/2011.) The position is eligible for full benefits and comes with a competitive salary commensurate with experience. Interested applicants should send a statement of research interests (not to exceed 3 pages), a CV, contact information for three professional references, and optionally up to three representative publications to [email protected].
