<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:black">The Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute (STRI;
<a href="http://www.stri.si.edu" target="_blank">www.stri.si.edu</a>) is pleased to invite applicants to fill two permanent research positions. The first position is part of a new initiative, made possible by generous support from the Simons Foundation, to conduct research on functional
roles played by <b>microbes in tropical forests</b>. The second position is for a quantitative biologist conducting research on the
<b>ecology and evolution of tropical forests</b>. Successful candidates will develop outstanding, independent research programs, supervise students and post-doctoral fellows, collaborate with Smithsonian staff, and provide service to STRI.</span><span style="color:black"><u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:6.0pt"><span style="color:black">STRI is headquartered in the Republic of Panama, with modern research facilities, a library with extensive holdings in the natural and anthropological sciences, and field stations throughout
the Republic of Panamá. Staff scientists maintain research programs within a worldwide network of collaborators at diverse academic institutions. Opportunities for mentoring young scientists are available through an internal fellowship program. Formal teaching
is possible through educational programs with affiliated universities, but not required.<u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">Incumbents will complement existing strengths at STRI, and within STRI’s Center for Tropical Forest Science/Smithsonian Forest Global Earth Observatory, including, but not limited to, community and population ecology,
ecosystem biology, evolutionary ecology, soil-plant interactions, microbial ecology of forests, plant physiology, animal behavior and human impacts on tropical forests. Both positions are based in the Republic of Panama. Early- to mid-career candidates are
especially encouraged, but applicants at all postdoctoral stages will be considered.<u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:black">Minimum Qualifications</span></b><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:black">: A Ph.D. and post-doctoral research experience in a relevant field, outstanding publication
record, demonstrated success in obtaining grants, and a commitment to communicating science to the public. Demonstrated experience with bioinformatics (microbial biologist) and database management (quantitative biologist) will be an advantage.</span><span style="color:black"><u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="color:black">To Apply: </span></b><span style="color:black">Interested candidates should submit a cover letter, a summary of research accomplishments and interests, curriculum vitae, three to five significant publications
