Postdoctoral Position in Plant Evolutionary Ecology A one-year NSF funded postdoctoral position is available immediately to work on the evolution of plant reproductive strategies in stochastic environments at the University of California, Davis. We are seeking a highly motivated, well organized, and creative individual to collect and analyze data to test predictions of stochastic life history theory and to help with the development of new theories. Experience with plant taxonomy, fieldwork, and some mathematical modeling is preferred, but all strong candidates will be considered. Two recent papers closely related to this project are available at
http://www.amnat.org/an/newpapers/JulyRosenheim.html and http://www-eve.ucdavis.edu/sschreiber/reprints/AmNat-In-Press.pdf The successful candidate will work with Sebastian Schreiber, Neal Williams, and Jay Rosenheim in the Departments of Evolution and Ecology and Entomology at UC Davis. A review of applications will begin on August 15th; applications will be accepted until the position is filled. The start date for this position is September 1, 2014 with a salary of $45,000 plus benefits. Applications should be emailed to [email protected] and include a CV, short statement of research interests, and contact information for three references. Both Sebastian Schreiber and Neal Williams will be attending the upcoming ESA annual meeting in Sacramento.
