Position: The Winfree lab at Rutgers University ( http://winfreelab.rutgers.edu ) seeks an outstanding postdoctoral scientist to conduct research on global change, biodiversity and ecosystem functioning, using pollinators and pollination as a model system. The successful candidate could develop an original field research project, and/or candidates who are primarily modelers could collaborate with Winfree lab members to analyze our extensive existing data sets on plant-pollinator interactions, crop pollination services, and/or landscape-scale habitat use. Two-year, full-time position with annual salary $49,000 plus excellent benefits.
Qualifications: Applicants must have a Ph.D in ecology or a related field, a strong publication record, excellent statistical and simulation modeling skills using R, and field research experience. The successful candidate will likely have expertise in one of more of the following fields: pollination ecology, biodiversity-ecosystem functioning, ecosystem services, landscape ecology. Application: Applicants should send a single pdf file consisting of a letter of interest, CV, 2 representative publications, and contact information for three references to rwinf...@rutgers.edu<rwin...@rutgers.edu>, using "quantitative ecologist" as the subject line.
