*Postdoctoral Fellowship in Ecology and Evolution of Tree Communities *

Center for Tropical Forest Science – Forest Global Earth Observatory



*Location*: Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History, Washington DC,
USA



*The Center for Tropical Forest Science - Forest Global Earth
Observatory* (CTFS-ForestGEO)
at the *Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute* seeks a postdoctoral
fellow to join a collaborative research effort to generate and use DNA
sequence data of tree communities in large forest census plots to address
broad evolutionary, taxonomic and ecological questions. The successful
candidate will work with Dr. David Kenfack to synthesize existing DNA
sequence data and where necessary develop new DNA sequence data of tree
species from across the CTFS-ForestGEO network of plots. The candidate will
use these data to address questions on the ecology and evolution of tree
communities. Projects might include: studies of trait evolution and
coexistence of hyper-diverse genera, tests of species boundaries and
cryptic species, community-level studies of functional and phylogenetic
diversity, and exploration of the links between phylogenetic diversity and
ecosystem function.



Candidates should hold a PhD in evolution, plant systematics, forest
ecology or environmental science, have strong skills in DNA sequencing and
data analysis, experience in forest ecology, strong writing skills, and
demonstrated ability to work in a team environment.



The fellowship will be based at the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural
History in Washington DC and will be awarded the standard Smithsonian
postdoctoral *stipend*. The appointment is for two years. The starting date
is flexible; earlier start dates are preferred.


To apply, send a single PDF file containing a cover letter including a
statement of research interest, CV, contact information for three
references, and two relevant publications or manuscripts to Lauren Krizel,
CTFS-ForestGEO Program Assistant, *ForestGEO at si.edu
<ForestGEO at si.edu>*. Rolling
review of applications will begin February 15, 2017, and will continue
until the position is filled.  For further information, contact David
Kenfack (kenfackd at si.edu).
