Subject: [ECOLOG-L] post-doc in ecological modeling, Brosi Lab

The Brosi Lab at Emory University is seeking a post-doctoral research
fellow focused on ecological modeling. Specific topics include
biodiversity-ecological functioning relationships and network structure
- function - stability relationships. Much of our lab's work focuses on
mutualisms and especially pollination, and we intend for this modeling
work to include those systems and well as extensions to other systems.
While the focus is on modeling, there is a possibility to conduct field
work at the Rocky Mountain Biological Laboratory (summer 2018) and / or
conduct controlled multi-species resource-based experiments with bees in
the lab. There will also be opportunities to interact with
collaborators, on both the theoretical and empirical side, from a range
of institutions.

The post-doc will initially be physically located at Stanford
University, where the PI (Berry Brosi) will be on sabbatical in Fall
2017 (preference to begin 1 September). The position will then
transition to Emory University in January 2018. For candidates with a
strong record of independent work, there may be the possibility to work
remotely, particularly after at least some time in residence. The
position has an initial duration of one year with the possibility of
extending to a second year.
The salary for the position is $48,000.

Qualifications:
REQUIREMENTS:
- Ph.D. in ecology or a Ph.D. in an allied field (e.g. applied mathematics)
- strong experience and skills in ecological modeling
- strong publication track record
- strong quantitative and programming skills
- excellent writing skills
- able to work collaboratively in a positive and productive team setting

PREFERRED SKILLS:
- experience with network modeling, preferably in a population-dynamic
framework
- experience with dynamical systems theory, including Lyapunov stabilty
- use of R for programming is preferred, though other languages may be used
- interest in and experience with grant writing

Application Instructions
To apply, please submit a cover letter, CV, and 1-3 representative
publications to https://apply.interfolio.com/41203 (please do not email
these materials). Get in touch with PI Berry Brosi, bbrosi [at] emory
(dot) edu if you have any questions regarding the position.
While the deadline of the position is set to mid-August, please apply by
15 July 2017 for full consideration.
