We are seeking qualified applicants for a Postdoctoral Research Associate position to study fire ecology of longleaf pine savannas. This position is part of a larger project to improve predictability of vegetation response to fire through an improved understanding of the mechanisms by which individual plants, populations, and vegetation respond to burning. The research associate will undertake research in one or more of the following topics: plant physiological and population responses to fire, vegetation-fire feedbacks, or modeling of landscape fire, with opportunities to pursue related, independent research questions. The candidates should be self motivated, well organized, and able to work as part of a team. Individuals with experience in physiological ecology or modeling of fire impacts are particularly encouraged to apply. Expected start date is June 1, 2011, with funding available for 3 years. Salary is $38000-$40000, commensurate with experience. Travel funds are available to present research results at national scientific meetings. Applicants should email a CV, a letter of interest, and contact information of three references to Bill Hoffmann at [email protected]. For full consideration apply by February 25, 2011, but the position will remain open until filled. North Carolina State University is an Equal Opportunity and Affirmative Action Employer.
