POSTDOCTORAL FELLOW: PLANT COMMUNITY ECOLOGY. A postdoctoral position in community ecology is available in the research group of Lauren Hallett at the University of Oregon. The successful candidate will be part of a USDA-funded project to explore how soil amendments and rainfall variability affect the resilience of ecosystem services in California rangelands. We are excited to work with someone with strong quantitative skills, a demonstrated publication record, and expertise in community ecology and/or ecosystem ecology. Abilities in the field are highly desirable. The position is available September 2018, with some flexibility in the start date if desired. Funding is available for at least two years. The position will be based on the University of Oregon and will involve collaborations with the Suding (University of Colorado Boulder) and Silver (University of California, Berkeley) labs groups. Field work, which largely occurs in the spring, will require travel to the Sierra Foothills Research and Extension Center (Browns Valley, CA). Salary will be commensurate with experience.
