Postdoc position in continental-scaled freshwater ecology
Anticipated start date: summaer/fall 2021
The Wagner Lab at The Pennsylvania State University is currently recruiting one postdoctoral researcher with an interest in the following types of landscape limnology research questions:
Description:
The successful candidate will work with Drs. Wagner (http://www.wagneraqualab.com/) and Hanks (https://sites.psu.edu/hanks/) and be part of the interdisciplinary Continental Limnology group that includes ecologists, statisticians, computer scientists, and data scientists from The Pennsylvania State University, Michigan State University, the University of Wisconsin, and the University of Missouri. This is a two year position located at The Pennsylvania State University, University Park, PA.
We seek candidates for one postdoctoral research position in continental limnology to be part of a Macrosystems Biology National Science Foundation funded interdisciplinary project – A macrosystems ecology framework for continental-scale prediction and understanding of lakes. The overarching goal of this research is to understand and predict nutrient patterns for all continental US lakes to inform estimates of lake contributions to continental and global cycles of nitrogen, phosphorus, and carbon. Our research team is studying a wide range of research questions related to this goal, developing new continental-scale data products for freshwater macrosystems ecology, and contributing novel, data-intensive analytical methods from computer science and statistics.
Qualifications:
Competitive candidates should be highly motivated and possess a PhD in Ecology, Limnology, Landscape Ecology or related discipline with strong quantitative emphasis. The ability to work both independently and collaboratively in a team environment is essential.
Application process:
To apply, send a single pdf that includes a cover letter describing your research interests, CV, and names and contact information for three references to Dr. Tyler Wagner (txw19@psu.edu).
Salary:
$50,000/year, plus excellent benefits
Closing Date:
Open until filled
