*TWO RESEARCH Positions in TROPICAL BIOLOGY: MICROBIAL ECOLOGY; and forest
ecology and evolution*

The Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute (STRI; www.stri.si.edu) 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 *microbes in tropical forests*. The second position is for a
quantitative biologist conducting research on the *ecology and evolution of
tropical forests*. Successful candidates will develop outstanding,
independent research programs, supervise students and post-doctoral
fellows, collaborate with Smithsonian staff, and provide service to STRI.

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.

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.

*Minimum Qualifications*: 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.

*To Apply: *Interested candidates should submit a cover letter, a summary
of research accomplishments and interests, curriculum vitae, three to five
significant publications as separate PDFs, and the names and contact
information of three references.

*Send applications electronically to strisearch at si.edu
<http://strisearch@si.edu>. *Address inquiries to Dr. Allen Herre, Chair,
Microbial Ecology Search Committee at *HerreA at si.edu <HerreA at si.edu>* or
Dr. Helene Muller-Landau, Chair, Quantitative Forest Ecology Search
Committee, at MullerH at si.edu.

Positions are open until filled; review of applications will begin on 2
December 2016.

STRI is an equal opportunity employer and is committed to diversity in its
workforce. Appointments are made regardless of nationality.
