The Macrosystems Ecology Lab at Arizona State University (PI Benjamin Blonder) is recruiting a postdoctoral researcher for lab startup focused on understanding leaf ecophysiology through projects involving venation network architecture, stomatal response to extreme environments, and economic tradeoffs. The position will involve both field ecophysiology measurements as well as theory development. The lab uses a combination of field, eco-informatics, and modeling approaches. Field sites are focused in forests and alpine environments in Latin America, southeast Asia, Scandinavia, and the United States. Projects could focus on any topic of mutual interest, and use a combination of field, modeling, or informatics approaches. Joining the lab at this early stage is an opportunity to gain independence, close collaboration, and active mentoring. Candidates with an interest in building on our science education and community outreach initiatives are very welcome. Funding is available for 2 years at competitive salaries, with additional support available for conference travel and fieldwork. Start dates are around February 1st 2018 but can be flexible. Information on benefits and leave policies. The lab is strongly supportive of positive work-life balance for people in all stages of their careers.
