Postdoctoral position in Forest Ecology
<http://www.forestgeo.si.edu/article/247/>



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 (http://forestgeo.si.edu).  Further information about the
McMahon lab can be found at http://forestecology.org.



The ideal candidate will meet the following criteria:

* PhD in ecology and evolutionary biology, or similar background

* Excellent quantitative skills

* Good publication record in ecology and/or evolutionary biology

* Good scientific writing skills and communication skills

* Ability to work in a multidisciplinary research team



Additionally, we are looking for candidates that also demonstrate the
following:

* Knowledge of forest systems

* Knowledge or understanding of modern genetic methods (i.e.
transcriptomics, sequence capture, and/or population genomics).

* Advanced programming skills in R

* Experience in field work

Appointment



This postdoc position will begin as soon as December 2016, but the start
date can be flexible. Initial appointment is for two years, and is
potentially renewable.  Salary starts at 48K with benefits.



How to apply: send a single PDF file containing a cover letter, CV, contact
information for three references, and two relevant publications or
manuscripts to KrizelL at si.edu with "SERC Postdoc Position" in the subject
line. Review of applications will begin on September 15th, 2016, and
continue until the position is filled.



Please contact Sean McMahon at mcmahons at si.edu with any questions.
