[ECOLOG-L] Postdoc position - Tree physiological ecology

[Bob Muscarella]

POSTDOCTORAL POSITION IN TREE PHYSIOLOGICAL ECOLOGY 

The Uriarte lab in the Department of Ecology, Evolution, and Environmental 
Biology at 
Columbia University invites applications for a postdoctoral position in plant 
physiological ecology. The successful candidate will join a NSF-funded project 
to 
quantify the importance of individual variation in stem hydraulic 
characteristics on tree 
species performance in the island of Puerto Rico. The postdoctoral associate 
will carry 
out field work, supervise a field technician, analyze data, and work on 
manuscripts 
with the PI and co-I Robert Muscarella.

This is a two year position based in Puerto Rico and New York City. Preferred 
start 
date is January 2019 but there is some flexibility for suitable candidates. A 
Ph.D. in 
ecology and experience carrying out tree physiology measurements, with a focus 
on 
stem hydraulics, is required. Spanish fluency is highly desirable but not a 
requirement. 
Please send i) a complete CV; ii) a one-page statement that includes research 
accomplishments, research interests, and motivation to apply for the position; 
and iii) 
the name and contact details for 3 academic referees. In addition, you may 
submit one 
or two representative publications. Application deadline is October 15, 2018. 
For 
inquiries or more information, contact Dr. Maria Uriarte .

[ECOLOG-L] Three 2-year postdocs on megafauna ecosystem ecology at Aarhus University

[Bob Muscarella]

I’m happy to announce the first set of three, 2-year postdocs in Jens-Christian 
Svenning 
lab's exciting new project: “Megafauna ecosystem ecology from the deep 
prehistory to a 
human-dominated future (MegaPast2Future)".

One position is focused on developing theory for megafauna ecosystem ecology 
(http://bit.ly/megatheoPD), while the two others concern building an 
integrative 
paleobiological-macroecological understanding of how megafauna functional 
complexity 
has built up across time and space, one taking a macroevolutionary perspective 
(http://bit.ly/megaevolPD), the other a biogeographic perspective 
(http://bit.ly/megabiogPD).

All positions involve a strong set of international collaborators. The 
application deadline is 
June 20, 2016.  Please contact Jens-Christian Svenning  
for more 
details.
