Postdoctoral opportunity in large-scale ecology/conservation biology

The Bahn lab is looking for a postdoctoral researcher interested in large-scale ecology and conservation. Specific topics of interest include species distributions, underlying processes, patterns and models and their applications to conservation biology. Secondary interests are community ecology and climate change. The candidate needs to have completed a PhD in ecology or closely related field (ABD considered if it can be demonstrated that completion is imminent). Requirements are solid quantitative skills, experience in spatial analyses and advanced statistical programming. GIS and database skills are an asset. The position will have considerable freedom to develop and pursue your own projects but I expect close collaboration. The primary focus will be research and publishing (90%) with secondary duties including grant writing, occasional guest lectures and supervision of graduate students (10%).

Initial appointment will be for one year with extension for a second year possible with reasonable progress. Salary will be $38,976 per year plus benefits.
