Post-doctoral fellowship in Biology at the University of
Saskatchewan, Saskatoon, Canada
The Northern Plant Ecology Lab (NPEL) at the University of
Saskatchewan (Canada) is looking to fill a one-year post-doctoral
fellowship (PDF) focused on successional dynamics in boreal forests
(for more details, see
<http://npelusask.weebly.com/openings.html>http://npelusask.weebly.com/openings.html).
This is a limited term, 1 year PDF position paid at a rate of
$40,000-$45,000 per year, with a portion of funds allocated to
project travel as needed. The fellowship will be held in the
Department of Biology at the University of Saskatchewan in Saskatoon,
SK, Canada under the supervision of Dr. Jill Johnstone. Residence in
Saskatoon is not required, however the PDF should be willing to
travel to Saskatoon a few times during the year to facilitate
collaborative work.
We are looking for a candidate who has completed a PhD within the
past five years, and who shows evidence of strong quantitative skills
and experience with forest ecology and vegetation succession. Ability
to work independently and meet regular milestones is essential, as
are strong communication skills in English. To apply, please send a
cover letter, CV, and examples of 2 research papers to Dr. Jill
Johnstone by email
(<mailto:jill.johnst...@usask.ca>jill.johnst...@usask.ca). Your cover
letter should address your interest in the project and what skills
and experience you can bring to the work. Preference will be given to
Canadian citizens and permanent residents. Review of applications
will start on 6 November 2015, and we hope to fill the position for a
January 1, 2016 start date.
