The UCLA La Kretz Center for California Conservation Science invites
applications for its annual Postdoctoral Fellowship in California
Conservation Science. Consistent with our mission, we seek one or two
postdoctoral scholars who simultaneously conduct innovative research and
interface with the conservation and management agencies that direct and
lead California conservation. For our 2018 competition, we are
specifically seeking one, or possibly two postdoctoral candidates who
will lead a broad, conservation genomics analysis of multiple
co-distributed species across Los Angeles and Southern California. Our
goal for this targeted call is to determine such issues as the
contribution of protected lands to the conservation of genetic
diversity, the ability of species to traverse the urban landscape of Los
Angeles and surrounding regions, and genetic resilience to future
climate change. Work on any taxa can be appropriate. We are particularly
interested in fellows who develop a taxonomically broad, multi-species
approach to comparative landscape genomics. The fellows will be
co-funded by the La Kretz Center and the UCLA Sustainable LA Grand
Challenge <https://grandchallenges.ucla.edu/sustainable-la/>, working
together to conduct molecular lab work and GIS-intensive analyses. We
will consider candidates who have recently completed their PhD, or will
have completed it by summer, 2018.
