[ES_JOBS_NET] Postdoctoral Fellow in Plant Population Biology - Utah State University

[Toby Maxwell]

Hi, could you please post the following? Thank you!

Toby

Postdoctoral Fellow in Plant Population Biology at Utah State University



The post-doc will join a multi-institution NSF project focused on
predicting the effects of climate change and variability on population
dynamics of the invasive annual grass *Bromus tectorum* across western
North America (https://bromecast.wixsite.com/home).  Our goal is to
determine the relative value of data on genetic variability, physiological
tolerances, demographic rates, and interspecific interactions for
ecological forecasting at the regional scale.



The project combines genetic sequencing with four intensive common garden
experiments and over forty less intensive distributed experiments. This
position, in Peter Adler’s lab at Utah State University (
https://qcnr.usu.edu/labs/adler_lab/), will lead synthetic data analyses
and modeling studies based on all these different data sources. The
successful applicant will work closely with Mevin Hooten (
https://mhooten.github.io/) and Jesse Lasky (
http://www.personal.psu.edu/jrl35/psu/index_JRL.html) and their respective
post-docs, along with other collaborators at Colorado State University,
USDA-ARS, and USGS. The position is funded for two and a half years at a
salary of $52,000 per year and can begin as early as Sept. 1, 2022. Review
of applications will begin May 12. Email Peter Adler (peter.adler [at]
usu.edu) with questions. For the full job description and application
instructions, please visit:
