We are still accepting applications for the following positions: A two-year postdoc position researching climate impacts on conifer reproduction is available at UC Merced in the Moran lab (https://sites.google.com/site/moranplantlab/ ). Our research focuses on the ecological and evolutionary responses of forests to climate change. This position will make use of the Mast Inference and Forecasting (Mastif) model<https://sites.nicholas.duke.edu/clarklab/r-packages/disperse/>, and the associated global network of forest monitoring plots<https://sites.nicholas.duke.edu/clarklab/projects/mastif-network/>. This network of research collaborations has already yielded multiple high-impact papers. Duties of the postdoc would include collection and analysis of tree fecundity data and collaborating with other team members to improve a web-based tool to share fecundity predictions with forest managers. Candidates must have completed a PhD in biology, ecology, mathematical modeling, or similar discipline, and have substantial experience with R. Other desirable but not strictly required skills include Bayesian modeling, coding for Shiny apps, and/or fieldwork experience. To apply: https://aprecruit.ucmerced.edu/JPF01828 **********
