[ES_JOBS_NET] Post-doctoral researcher in Limnology at York University, Toronto, Canada

[Sapna Sharma]

There is an opening for a post-doctoral researcher in the laboratory of
Sapna Sharma in the Department of Biology at York University (
www.biol.yorku.ca). The project aims to assess whether the coastal areas of
the northern shore of Lake Superior are vulnerable to algal blooms in
response to climate change and nutrient enrichment. This project will
include a detailed analysis and integration of Great Lakes
limnological, climate,
and plankton datasets from the Canadian shores of Lake Superior.
Information derived
from the assessment will inform Great Lakes scientists, as well as
federal, provincial,
and binational groups working on Lake Superior lake-wide management
and remedial
action plans to address the question on whether bloom forming algal taxa may
pose a potential for concern in localized areas. Please see the
laboratory’s webpage for more information:  www.sharmalab.wordpress.com .



This research project is in collaboration with Tara George and Todd Howell
from the Ontario Ministry of Environment, Conservation, and Parks with
funding available for 1.5 years. The successful applicant will have a PhD
in ecology, limnology, applied statistics, climate science, or a relevant
field, experience harmonizing large datasets collected from different
sources, advanced data analytical skills in R, Python, or Matlab, and the
ability to work effectively with an interdisciplinary team.



Applications are due on April 30, 2022. Preferred start date is July 1,
2022, but the starting date is negotiable. Applicants should submit a cover
letter detailing their relevant background and experiences, a CV, and names
and contact information for three references. Only those applicants
selected for consideration will be contacted for an online interview. Inquiries
about the position and applications may be sent to Sapna Sharma at
sharma11 at yorku.ca.
