The Niwot Ridge LTER program invites proposals from early-career investigators for a 2- year postdoctoral fellowship. Niwot Ridge LTER has a 35-year record of investigation ecological dynamics in high-elevation mountain systems, including alpine tundra, lakes, treeline, and subalpine forests. Synthesis of long-term data sets, on-going experiments, and model results is an important goal of NWT’s LTER program. These syntheses can provide new research findings, derived data sets, and new models that establish future research directions and guide the development of future work at the site.
A key element of successful Postdoctoral Fellowship applications will be the identification of specific research questions and how they will be addressed using NWT LTER data. Application deadline is January 4, 2017. You must have your PhD by June 2017, prior to starting the fellowship.
