A Postdoctoral position is available in Feng Sheng Hu's interdisciplinary

plant ecology and evolution based on single-pollen isotope analysis.  The
successful candidate will work on one or more of these projects in
collaboration with a large group of ecologists, geneticists, remote sensing
experts, ecosystem and species-niche modelers, geochemists, and
statisticians.  She/he will also be encouraged to pursue new research
directions, and will help manage the lab and interact with graduate and
undergraduate students.  More information on the lab group is available via
