[ECOLOG-L] Postdoc in Molecular Ecology and Global Change, University of Washington

[Ryan Kelly]

Seeking an enterprising and talented person to join the Kelly Lab
(http://kellyresearchlab.com/) for a full-time position as a postdoctoral
fellow (Research Associate; job class code 0148) at the School of Marine &
Environmental Affairs, University of Washington. The postdoc will lead
day-to-day work on a project to measure the effects of locally intensified
ocean acidification on nearshore ecological communities using molecular
techniques (eDNA, metabarcoding). The position will be located in Seattle
and will entail occasional travel for fieldwork and related activities.
The ideal candidate will combine significant molecular ecological experience
with knowledge of nearshore ecology, ocean acidification, and global change.
A PhD or foreign equivalent is required, and required skills include (1)
facility with PCR (and related skills) and high-throughput sequencing, (2)
coding in R, (3) general familiarity with bioinformatics methods and
statistics, (4) a strong interest in nearshore ecology and global change,
and (5) the ability to find and integrate data across a diverse spectrum of
disciplines. Desirable skills include broader computer coding aptitude
(e.g., Python, Perl, bash) and familiarity with the basics of carbonate
chemistry. The postdoc will have an opportunity to work at the
science/policy interface in this applied project—and therefore
communications and outreach skills are a significant plus—but core
quantitative and molecular skills will be the foundation of any successful
application.

The University of Washington (UW) and the School of Marine and Environmental
Affairs (SMEA) promote diversity and inclusivity among our students,
faculty, staff, and public. Thus, we are strongly seeking candidates whose
experiences have prepared them to fulfill our commitment to inclusion and
have given them the confidence to fully engage audiences from a wide
spectrum of backgrounds. The UW is located in the greater Seattle
metropolitan area, with a dynamic, multicultural community of 3.7 million
people and a range of ecosystems from mountains to ocean. The UW serves a
diverse population of 80,000 students, faculty and staff, including 25%
first-generation college students, over 25% Pell Grant students, and faculty
from over 70 countries.

This is a full-time (12-month, 100%FTE), appointment for one year with the
possibility of extension. Applicants may apply electronically by sending
applications to Ryan Kelly (rpke...@uw.edu). Applications should consist of
an email with the subject line “Application: eDNA – OA postdoc,” and the
following application materials should be attached:

1. Cover letter,
2. Curriculum vitae,
3. 1-page statement of research interests and experiences,
4. If available, one or more publications that best represent work relevant
to the position, and
5. Names and full contact information for three professional references.

Items 1-5 should be merged into a single searchable PDF document attached to
your email. Consideration of applications will begin immediately and
continue until the position is filled. Priority will be given to
applications received by September 1, 2016.

The UW and SMEA are committed to building a culturally diverse workforce.
More details can be found at https://smea.uw.edu/about/diversity/. UW is an
affirmative action and equal opportunity employer. All qualified applicants
will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color,
religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression,
national origin, age, protected veteran or disabled status, or genetic
information. All UW faculty engage in research, teaching, and service.

[ECOLOG-L] postdoc in microbial ecosystem modeling

[Bruce Hungate]

Conduct research at the interface between quantitative ecology and microbial 
genomics in the 
Center for Ecosystem Science & Society at Northern Arizona University. The 
postdoc will use 
tools in ecological modeling, molecular microbial ecology, bioinformatics, and 
statistics, to 
develop new quantitative models describing the influence of temperature on 
growth and 
carbon-use efficiency of microorganisms in soil. The work will involve computer 
modeling, with 
a minor component of laboratory work, as needed. The postdoc will collaborate 
with and help 
supervise two PhD students working on the same project. The postdoc will also 
collaborate 
with the multiple PIs involved in the project (Hungate, Schwartz, Dijkstra, 
Koch, and Mack) as 
well as with external collaborators from the DOE National Labs (LLNL, 
Pett-Ridge, and PNNL, 
Hofmockel). For details and to apply, please paste the link, below, into your

of applicants will begin 20 August.

[ECOLOG-L] Need Help with Damselfly Identification

[John A.]

I'm trying to identify a locally common species of damselfly in southern 
Virginia, but so far I'm stumped.  I've been through every page of Dennis 
Paulson's field guide to Eastern odonata, but I haven't been able to find a 
match, and I'd appreciate hearing from someone who could provide an expert ID.

I can provide photos, a description of habitat and behavior, and one rather 
wizened specimen.  If anyone is willing and able to help, please contact me 
off-list with my abundant thanks in advance.

[ECOLOG-L] AGU Session of interest to soil C scientists

[Rose Abramoff]

We are convening an AGU Session cross-listed with Biogeosciences and Global
Environmental Change that focuses on soil C stabilization by minerals and
microbial processes.

B060: Of minerals and microbes: Models and experiments investigating the
vulnerability of soil carbon

Session ID#: 12633

Session Description:
Soil carbon (C) is a large portion of the land C sink. The current size and
future changes to this land C sink are becoming important to
climate-change-mitigation policymakers. Perturbations associated with
global change (e.g., warming, drought, fertilization) may cause linear,
non-linear, or threshold changes in soil C stock, and are conceptualized
and modeled in a variety of ways. Many theories describing the interaction
of minerals and microbes with soil organic matter have been postulated
within the past decade. These include the persistence of soil organic
matter as an ecosystem property, MEMS (microbial efficiency matrix
stabilization), the "onion" layering model, etc. In this session we focus
on how these concepts are being applied to and tested using models and
experiments. We need to understand and represent mineral and microbial
mechanisms correctly in order to predict the vulnerability of soil C to
global change and future novel conditions.

Conveners: Caitlin Hicks Pries, Rose Z Abramoff, Katerina Georgiou

Feel free to contact Rose Abramoff (rzabram...@lbl.gov) with any questions
about the session.

[ECOLOG-L] Importance of Fundamental Research

[Julia Baum]

Dear colleagues,

Do you think secure funding for your research is important?

If so, we need your help!

We are working with the Global Young Academy working group, ‘The Importance of 
Fundamental Research 
’.
  We have launched a new online survey, ‘Perspectives of Funding for 
Fundamental Research’ and the results will be featured in our upcoming GYA 
report. It takes only ~10 minutes to complete.

The survey is aimed at independent researchers (e.g. Principal Investigators in 
academia, research institutes, and industry) with at least a few years 
experience applying for their own research grants.

We are asking for your help to do two things:

1)   Click here to take the 
survey today. Ethics approval (University of Victoria) is described on the 
survey web site.
2)   Please also help us spread the word by disseminating the survey to your 
colleagues in other disciplines and countries. We are aiming to get input from 
scientists in all disciplines from around the world.

Gratefully,

Professor Julia Baum (University of Victoria)
Professor Jeremy Kerr (University of Ottawa)

[ECOLOG-L] Butler University’s Friesner Herbarium launches Indiana Plant Atlas

[Dolan, Rebecca]

The Indiana Plant Atlas (IPA) is an online resource that documents 
Indiana’s wild plants: http://www.indiana.plantatlas.org/.   Based 
initially on data from the more than 40,000 specimens housed in the 
Friesner Herbarium (BUT), the site is growing to include records from 
other herbaria. Nomenclature is based on Kay Yatskievych’s Indiana 
Vascular Plant Catalogue (soon to be published by IU Press).  Images of 
the herbarium specimens that document species’ distributions are present, 
when available.  Other information on each plant includes rarity and 
invasive status, coefficient of conservatism and wetness classification 
values, physiognomy and common name.  County-level check-lists can be 
downloaded. The IPA also has wonderful photographs of plants taken in situ 
in Indiana by local photographers.  Feedback appreciated – Rebecca Dolan
