A postdoctoral position is available in the Ballantyne Lab at the Odum School of Ecology at the University of Georgia to develop models of trophic interactions and element fluxes for stream ecosystems at the Luquillo LTER in Puerto Rico. The goal of the project is to develop and parameterize a model using data from stream flow manipulations that can be used to predict the consequences of changing climate and hydrology for stream communities and coupled terrestrial-aquatic element fluxes. The postdoc will have the opportunity to work with a team of stream ecologists, biogeochemists, and climate modelers at UGA and other institutions associated with the Luquillo LTER. Experience with theory and modeling, and parameter estimation for dynamic models are highly desired.
Please submit a cover letter, a current CV, a two page statement describing research interests and accomplishments, and the names and contact information for at least three references to [email protected]. Review of applications will begin March 30 and continue until the position is filled. To ensure full consideration, submit all materials by the deadline. Please direct all inquires regarding the position to Ford Ballantyne ([email protected]). The term of appointment will be up to two years. The ideal starting date is summer, but some flexibility in the dates of the appointment exists. The University of Georgia is an EEO/AAA institution committed to increasing the diversity of its faculty and students, and sustaining a work and learning environment that is inclusive. Women, minorities, and people with disabilities are encouraged to apply.
