Postdoctoral Research Associate
Geographic differences in forest responses to environmental change

We seek a postdoctoral researcher to join a collaborative team of ecologists at the University of Michigan and Duke University to study the varying patterns of forest responses to environmental change. The post-doc will leverage available data from the University of Michigan Biological Station (https://lsa.umich.edu/umbs) and Duke Forest (https://dukeforest.duke.edu/) to develop quantitative models to analyze tree species’ responses, acclimation, and adaptation to environmental changes. The postdoctoral researcher will be based at the University of Michigan and collaborate with Drs. Inés Ibáñez (U. Michigan), Kai Zhu (U. Michigan), and Tong Qiu (Duke U.).

We seek candidates with a Ph.D. in ecology, environmental science, or a closely related field (required by the start date).  Expertise with statistical modeling and data processing, as well as strong written and oral communication skills, is required. Experience working with large datasets, programming (e.g., R or Python), and ecological modeling is highly desirable. The initial appointment period will be for 1 year, with the potential of renewal.

Applicants should email inquiries and applications (a cover letter describing research experience and goals, a curriculum vitae, representative publication reprints, and the contact information of three references) to Dr. Inés Ibáñez (iibanez at umich.edu), School for Environment and Sustainability, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor. The University of Michigan is a non-discriminatory, affirmative-action employer.
