<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma",sans-serif;color:black">The lab of Sean McMahon at the Smithsonian Environmental Research Center is looking for a postdoctoral researcher in forest ecology. This position is funded by
an NSF grant to Sean McMahon, Nate Swenson at the University of Maryland, and Stuart Davies, at the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute. The project investigates genetic variation in tree growth with an interest in linking climate, demography, functional
traits, transcriptomes and ecosystem processes in two temperate forests. The position will be located at the Smithsonian Environmental Research Center in Edgewater Maryland in the new Mathias Research Laboratory. The position will collaborate closely with
the Swenson lab and the CTFS-ForestGEO research network (<a href="http://forestgeo.si.edu" target="_blank">http://forestgeo.si.edu</a>). Further information about the McMahon lab can be found at
