[ECOLOG-L] Post-Doctoral Position: Symbiont and Microbiome Influences on Coral Resilience to Climate Change
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, with a group of scientists who are committed to scientific outreach and policy, to open science, and to enhancing diversity in STEM. UVic is one of Canada’s top comprehensive universities (https://www.macleans.ca/schools/university-of-victoria/), has a vibrant ecology community (https://uvicecology.weebly.com/) and is located in beautiful Victoria, on Vancouver Island, British Columbia.

Funding: Funding is available for a one-year initial period to cover the postdoctoral fellows’ salary ($55,000 per annum including medical and dental benefits), a new laptop computer and attendance at a major conference. Funding for a second and third year is contingent on the postdoctoral candidate applying, and being successful in the competition for either: 1) an NSERC Postdoctoral Fellowship (http://www.nserc-crsng.gc.ca/Students- Etudiants/PD-NP/PDF-BP_eng.asp; Notes: Candidates for this fellowship must be Canadian citizens or permanent residents of Canada; Fellowship is $45,000 per annum with an October 15, 2018 deadline, and would be topped up to $55,000, assuming satisfactory progress in year one; or 2) a Banting Postdoctoral Fellowship (http://banting.fellowships-bourses.gc.ca/en/home- accueil.html; Notes: This fellowship is open to candidates of all nationalities; Fellowship is $70,000 per annum with an August 21, 2018 internal UVic deadline.

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 <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.
