Postdoc position in continental-scaled freshwater ecology
Description:
I seek to fill a 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. Ecosystems, such as lakes, are complex, heterogeneous, and strongly influenced by their ecological context—environmental or anthropogenic factors that operate at multiple scales. This complexity makes extrapolating site-level estimates of ecological services, state, and function challenging. Our project will study a wide range of research questions related to this goal, develop new continental-scale data products for freshwater macrosystems ecology, and contribute novel, data-intensive analytical methods from computer science and statistics.
The successful candidate will be part of the interdisciplinary Continental Limnology group that includes ecologists, statisticians, computer scientists, and data scientists from Michigan State University, the University of Wisconsin, the University of Missouri, and The Pennsylvania State University. The position will be located at The Pennsylvania State University and advised by Dr. Tyler Wagner.
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:
Please send a 1-2 page cover letter describing your research interests, CV, and names and contact information for three references as a single pdf to Dr. Tyler Wagner.
Closing date:
Opened until filled
