Applications are invited for a two-year postdoctoral position conducting
ecological synthesis with Drs. Katharine Suding and Sarah Elmendorf at the
University of Colorado Boulder. We are seeking highly motivated applicants
interested in the causes and consequences of biodiversity change in
high-elevation alpine and high-latitude arctic environments. The research
focus is flexible but will likely involve utilizing long-term and multi-site
data to understand plant biodiversity responses to climate change, with a
particular focus of phenology, other functional traits, and/or temporal and
spatial heterogeneity.

Who We Are


Who We Are


 As the University's oldest institute, lNSTAAR (Institute of Arctic & Alpine
Research) has a long history of responding to pressing environmental issues.
Our traditional focus has been on polar and alpine regions, where effects of
global change are especially pronounced.  In recent decades, our research
has broadened to include environmental challenges that span local, regional,
and global scales.  Research topics vary widely and include Quaternary and
modern environments, human and ecosystem ecology, biogeochemistry, landscape
evolution, hydrology, oceanography, and climate.

 INSTAAR's research activities integrate field studies, state-of-the-art
laboratory experiments, sample analysis, and numerical and laboratory
modeling.  Our field sites are located across all seven continents and the
world's oceans.  Our expertise across disciplines helps us generate
influential science that can inform public and policy decisions and move us
toward a more sustainable society.  INSTAAR's national and international
research leadership is augmented by exceptional strength in graduate
education and bringing undergraduates into the research process.
