The successful candidate will work with Dr. Helene Muller-Landau, Dr. S. Joseph Wright, and Dr. Stuart Davies, to analyze large-scale and long-term datasets on tropical tree demography to relate individual performance to species traits, spatial environmental variation, and temporal climate variation. The planned research is part of NGEE-Tropics, a multidisciplinary, multi-institutional project to improve the representation of tropical forests in Earth System Models. Desired qualifications include experience in complex statistical analyses of large datasets (preferably in R), knowledge of forest ecology (preferably tropical), and strong writing skills. The successful fellow can be based at either the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute in Panama or the Washington, DC offices of CTFS-ForestGEO at the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History, and will be awarded the standard Smithsonian postdoctoral stipend. Initial appointment is for two years, and is potentially renewable. The starting date is flexible; start dates in summer 2015 are preferred. For further information, contact the PIs listed above and see the position posting. To apply, send a single PDF file containing a cover letter, CV, contact information for three references, and two relevant publications or manuscripts to Kristin Powell, CTFS-ForestGEO Program Manager, [email protected]. Review of applications will begin on May 1, 2015, and continue until the position is filled. Dr. Teresa Vegas Vilarrúbia Dep. Ecology, Fac. Biology, University of Barcelona Av.
