Arizona State University's Global Drylands Center (GDC), and the Sala Lab are seeking a postdoctoral research scholar in ecology. The postdoctoral research scholar will contribute to synthesis activities within the Global Drylands Center in close collaboration with the Director and the member of the Sala laboratory. Synthesis activities will be complemented by maintenance, monitoring and the data analysis of field experiments at the Jornada Experimental Range in New Mexico with the objective of understanding long-term effects of droughts and their interactions with other ecosystem variables.
This is a grant-funded position. Continuation is contingent on future grant funding. Renewal of the position is contingent upon satisfactory progress and contribution to the collective program. Essential duties 1. Collaborate in the activities of the Global Drylands Center and the Sala Lab. 2. Maintain experiments and collect data in collaboration with lab manager and graduate students. 3. Analyze experimental data and write scientific papers associated with the research. 4. Travel to meetings to perform the work and present results. 5. Be an active member in research group activities (e.g., participate in lab meetings). Qualifications 1. Successful candidates must have earned a doctoral degree or approaching completion in a relevant area at time of appointment. 2. Demonstrated dedication to solving scientific challenges through research and scholarship. 3. A demonstrated record of scholarly achievement, excellent communication skills, and proficiency in both written and spoken English. 4. The capacity to work effectively in interdisciplinary teams. Send your letter of intent, CV, and names with contact information of who would serve as a reference to globaldryla...@asu.edu<mailto:globaldryla...@asu.edu>. Applications will continue to be accepted on a rolling basis for a reserve pool. Applications in the reserve pool may then be reviewed in the order in which they were received until the position is filled. ________________________________ About the Sala Lab at ASU<https://sala.lab.asu.edu/> Research in the Sala Lab focuses on controls of the functioning of arid and semiarid ecosystems. We are driven by questions and hypotheses and use multiple tools to address them, including synthesis, field experiments, and simulation modeling. These tools yield complementary answers to our research questions - Data syntheses provide temporal and spatial depth, modeling allows us to explore future scenarios, and experimentation best tackles cause-effect relationships. We work at multiple scales, from plots at the Jornada Experimental Range to experiments distributed across the Great Plains of the US and the rest of the world. We complement these studies with global analyses and models. About the Global Drylands Center at ASU<https://globalfutures.asu.edu/global-drylands/> Our mission is to engage and synergize key stakeholders and institutions leading to global dryland sustainability through solution-oriented research, education and outreach. The Global Drylands Center will become the world leader in discovery and education ensuring a sustainable future for drylands. ________________________________ All the best, Em Em Gonzalez Project Coordinator, Notary Public Global Drylands Center Arizona State University Mail Code: 4501 Life Sciences A, A259 Tempe, AZ 85287 p: 623-249-8675<tel:623-249-8675> email: emilie.gonza...@asu.edu<mailto:emilie.gonza...@asu.edu> Global Drylands Center<https://sustainability-innovation.asu.edu/global-drylands/> | The Sala Lab @ ASU<http://sala.lab.asu.edu/> twitter<https://twitter.com/DrylandsASU> To unsubscribe from this list please go to https://community.esa.org/confirm/?u=RhPWqPxFwODKvbkiT32nkIqRrsiSgulp
