The O'Connell lab at Chapman University has funding to directly support a *postdoctoral research associate*, as well as the opportunity to support a *postdoctoral research and teaching fellow* through our innovative Grand Challenges Initiative (a great jumping off point for postdocs who want to head to primarily-undergraduate institutions or R2s). Postdoctoral scientists in the group could work on any of the following:
- Support the synthesis and publication of biogeochemistry data from drought, warming and/or hurricane experiments carried out in the Luquillo LTER, Puerto Rico - Couple remote sensing to plot-level ecosystem variables in order to explore the implications of global change on different ecosystem properties - Carry out time series and forecasting modeling on soil biotic and abiotic variables in order to predict the effects of global change on the magnitude and/or variability of carbon and nitrogen cycles - Support or lead perspective pieces on the diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) initiatives that our group is involved in Postdoctoral research associates would benefit from a culture of inclusive mentorship and significant opportunities for professional development given Chapman's strong tradition in training the next generation of faculty. Opportunities to mentor undergraduate students, work on DEI efforts, contribute to teaching, and/or write grants are available depending on interest. Chapman is an emerging Hispanic-Service Institution with numerous exciting ways to get involved in DEI. O'Connell's position has dedicated time for her to serve as a Latina in ecology through service, and environmental and social justice are woven into the group. There is flexibility in start date, with up to three years of funding at a starting salary of $70,000 annually.
