Two postdoctoral positions are available in the Klausmeier-Litchman lab at Michigan State University (USA). We are looking for quantitative ecologists to develop mathematical models and/or apply statistical tools to understand static and dynamic patterns of community structure. Experience with statistics and/or ecological modeling is required; knowledge of species abundance distributions, adaptive dynamics, trait-based approaches, metacommunities, variable environment theory, and Mathematica are beneficial.
The position is for one year initially, renewable depending on performance and continued funding. Start date is as soon as possible. Interested applicants should email a CV, a brief statement of research interests and accomplishments, and the names and contact information of two references to Christopher Klausmeier ([email protected]). Review of applications will begin January 3, 2017 and continue until filled. See <http://preston.kbs.msu.edu> for more info on the lab and email if you have questions.
