Please share this note with any indivduals who may be interested in a stimulating, multi-faceted postdoc experience in montane ecology that will allow the incumbent to carve out work leading to publications that play to the incumbent's own strengths, which can be leveraged by skillsets of the team of experts available to the postdoc. Entitled “*Montane ecosystems in flux with contemporary climate changes: using integrated analyses to illuminate distributional patterns, mechanisms of change, and conservation opportunities*”, the opportunity may involve aspects of biogeography, conservation biology, population ecology, community ecology, ecohydrology, physiology, biological climatology, or synecology.
