*POSTDOCTORAL SCHOLAR: Biodiversity of desert aquatic insects. *The
Lytle lab (science.oregonstate.edu/lytlelab) at Oregon State University
seeks candidates for a postdoctoral position examining how aquatic
insect biodiversity is maintained across desert landscapes. The postdoc
will help design and execute fieldwork, analyze data, and write up
publications in collaboration with the PI. The postdoc will also have
opportunities to work with collaborators at University of Washington and
Arizona State University to test neutral and niche-based models of
biodiversity. Although based primarily at Oregon State University, the
postdoc will also lead fieldwork in remote and challenging desert
regions of Arizona, New Mexico, and California. The project will
complement other ongoing studies of landscape genetics, life-history and
behavioral evolution, and conservation biology, and so an interest in
cross-disciplinary collaboration is highly desirable. Candidates should
have a Ph.D. or equivalent in ecology or a related discipline, as well
as experience sampling aquatic ecosystems, biodiversity estimation,
and/or analysis of community data. Salary is $38,000 to $42,000 per year
(depending on experience) plus benefits, renewable annually for up to 3
years. Apply by June 1^st , 2012 for full consideration. Email a letter
of application, CV, and contact information for three references to: Dr.
David A. Lytle, [email protected]. OSU is an AA/EOE.
