[ECOLOG-L] Post-Doctoral Position: Symbiont and Microbiome Influences on Coral Resilience to Climate Change

2018-07-24 Thread Julia Baum
The Baum Lab at University of Victoria, British Columbia, Canada 
(https://baumlab.weebly.com; @BaumLab) seeks to recruit 
an outstanding, highly quantitative postdoctoral fellow (PDF) to lead research 
investigating how the relationships between 
corals and their microbial partners (bacteria, Symbiodinium) vary with local 
and global stressors, and the extent to which the 
microbiome influences coral resilience to thermal stress.
Research Context and Specific Focus: The 2015-2017 mega El Niño unleashed 
globally unprecedented heat stress on 
Kiritimati (Christmas) Island, a large coral atoll in the central equatorial 
Pacific 
Ocean. With its strong spatial gradient of local human disturbance, Kiritimati 
offers an excellent platform for studying 
how local and global stressors interact. We tagged, sampled and tracked >1,000 
individual coral colonies from multiple species over space (across Kiritimati’s 
local 
disturbance gradient) and time (before, during and after the El Niño event) to 
characterize coral-associated microbial communities. The post-doctoral fellow 
will 
conduct bioinformatics and statistical analyses to synthesize our longitudinal 
next-
generation sequencing (16S and ITS2) data set from these coral samples to 
investigate: 
1) how coral-associated symbiont and microbial communities vary with local 
disturbance and with 
multiple stressors (local disturbance and heat stress), and the influence of 
these
communities on resilience to thermal stress; 2) covariance between 
coral-associated 
microbial and symbiont communities under single and multiple stressors. The 
fellow 
would also have the opportunity to conduct fieldwork on Kiritimati in the 
summers of 2019 
and/or 2020. Together, these activities provide the opportunity to address 
questions of 
fundamental importance to coral reef resilience under climate change.
Required Qualifications:
- A PhD in ecology, oceanography, mathematical biology, statistics, or computer 
science;
- Excellent publication record (Minimum of 8 peer-reviewed publications);
- Considerable experience processing, manipulating, and modelling large 
next-generation 
sequencing data set. Demonstrated proficiency with Unix, R and/or Python, and 
with 
software tools for bioinformatics pipelines and microbiome analyses;
-Excellent technical, analytical, computer, organizational, and problem-solving 
skills. 
Strong attention to detail, and meticulous work style, as evidenced by previous 
research;
-Experience working with microbial or Symbiodinium data sets and an in-depth 
understanding of the related literature;
-Excellent time management skills, including the ability to meet project goals 
in a timely 
manner, and follow through on projects to completion;
-Strong interpersonal and communication skills, the ability to work both 
independently 
and collaboratively, and to communicate research findings at 
professional meetings and in high quality peer-reviewed journals.
Research Environment: The postdoc will be based in Prof. Julia Baum’s lab 
(https://baumlab.weebly.com; @BaumLab) in UVIC’s (https://www.uvic.ca/) 
Department of 
Biology. The Baum lab is a supportive and stimulating research environment,

If so, we need your help!

We are working with the Global Young Academy working group, ‘The Importance of 
Fundamental Research 
<http://globalyoungacademy.net/activities/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<http://uottawa.fluidsurveys.com/s/FUNsurvey/> 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.
