Postdoctoral position: Consequences of urban and global warming for forest and human health
A postdoctoral position is available to work in the Frank Lab in the Department of Entomology at North Carolina State University, in collaboration with Rob Dunn in the Department of Applied Ecology as well as a broader group of scholars studying cities at NCSU. Funding will be partially or fully to examine how urban heat islands and global climate change affect urban and natural forest health. We are interested in the influence of urban heat islands and, more generally, climate on tree pest physiology, symbionts (of diverse sorts), trophic interactions, and the distribution of tree associated taxa. We also consider how changes in urban tree health and density affect human health.
