*Postdoctoral Position: Evolutionary ecology of communities* I am seeking a highly motivated postdoctoral researcher to join me in merging comparative phylogeography and geographical ecology to unravel the complex regional history of communities, via the evolution of species pools and historical constraints on community assembly. Research in my lab focuses on integrating comparative phylogeography with community and macroecology to investigate the role of dispersal in shaping large-scale biogeographical patterns and how communities respond to environmental change. Thus, I invite applications from scholars with a strong background in either geographical ecology or comparative phylogeography.
The successful applicant will be a highly motivated, independent, and collaborative scientist with excellent communication and organizational skills. They will have a broad background in either community/macroecology or comparative phylogeography, and a demonstrated record in project design, data analysis and publication. Strong quantitative and analytical skills, including experience handling large geographical or genetic datasets, conducting spatial analyses, and fluency in R or other programming languages, are essential. The initial appointment will be for one year, with the possibility of extension for an additional year contingent on performance and funding. A PhD is required by the start date for this position. Screening of candidates will begin *31 August 2017* and continue until the position is filled. Informal inquiries are welcome--please shoot me an email at *[email protected] <[email protected]>*!
