A postdoctoral research position is available in the lab of Dr. Steve Hovick at the Ohio State University’s Department of Evolution, Ecology and Organismal Biology (https://u.osu.edu/hovicklab). The postdoc’s primary focus will be on projects designed to quantify the nature of phenotypic plasticity and its implications for colonization and invasion success in plants using two model systems: (i) a diverse and global collection of Arabidopsis thaliana natural accessions and (ii) native and non-native wetland plants that tend towards ecological dominance. Specific duties will include overseeing experiments and subsequent data collection, analyzing and curating data and assisting in the preparation of grants and manuscripts.
The successful applicant will have completed a PhD in ecology, evolutionary biology or a related field prior to the start date. A strong background in statistics (preferably using R) and publication record are required, as is the ability to work both independently and with a team of undergraduate and graduate students. The anticipated start date is January 2019. Funding is currently available for one year, with additional funding actively being sought. To apply, please send a CV and cover letter to Dr. Steve Hovick (hovic...@osu.edu), in addition to uploading both documents to the official application form at the following link: https://www.jobsatosu.com/postings/91238. The cover letter should address your research experience as it relates to the position and list the names and emails of two references. For more information, please contact Dr. Steve Hovick at hovic...@osu.edu. Review of applications will begin immediately and continue until the position is filled.
