Postdoctoral Research Associate, Oklahoma Biological Survey and Department of Biology, University of Oklahoma. I seek a postdoctoral scholar to examine effects of environmental change on freshwater mussel community structure and function. Funding is for two years, beginning 1 January 2013. Applicants should complete PhD prior to start date. Ideal candidates will have (1) demonstrated ability to collect and analyze data and publish research findings; (2) expertise in stream ecology, freshwater mussel biology, spatial modeling, and GIS. The postdoc will be expected to conduct original research both in streams of the highly diverse Ouachita Uplands of southeastern Oklahoma and southwestern Arkansas and using a large artificial stream and mesocosms facility on the University of Oklahoma campus. The postdoc will join a community of faculty, postdocs, and students in the Ecology and Evolutionary Biology graduate program (www.ou.edu/eeb<http://www.ou.edu/eeb>), Department of Biology (zoology.ou.edu<http://zoology.ou.edu/>) and newly established South Central Climate Science Center at the University of Oklahoma. The University of Oklahoma is located in Norman, OK, 20 miles south of Oklahoma City. In 2008, Norman was ranked by Money Magazine as the 6th best small city in the U.S. in which to reside. Note: this is a separate position from the one advertised earlier this year. Applicants should send a CV, statement of interests, up to 3 representative publications, and contact information for 3 references to Caryn Vaughn ([email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>)(faculty-staff.ou.edu/V/Caryn.C.Vaughn-1/Welcome/Welcome.html<http://ff.ou.edu/V/Caryn.C.Vaughn-1/Welcome/Welcome.html>).
