The Blaszczak and Shriver labs at the University of Nevada, Reno (UNR) are recruiting a postdoctoral scholar in quantitative ecology. The postdoctoral scholar will develop models to test novel hypotheses about how abiotic conditions and species interactions
drive algal population and community dynamics that lead to harmful algal blooms in rivers using Bayesian modeling approaches and diverse datasets. The ultimate goal of this research is to better forecast when benthic harmful algal blooms will occur. The position
is funded by a National Science Foundation Rules of Life grant to understand the mechanisms governing the proliferation of benthic harmful algal blooms in rivers. in collaboration with Dr. Ramesh Goel (U. Utah), Dr. Rosalina Christova (George Mason University),
and Dr. Hari Sundar (U. Utah). There will also be opportunities to assist fieldwork in the coast range of Northern California or Zion National Park in southern Utah. The postdoctoral scholar will collaborate with an interdisciplinary research team including
ecologists, environmental engineers, phycologists, and computer scientists.</div>
