We are seeking applications for a post-doctoral associate in ecosystem services and/or environmental economics to work with Drs. Stephen Polasky and David Tilman as part of the Cedar Creek LTER program at the University of Minnesota. The appointment is for one year with potential for renewal, to begin as soon as possible. The specific research project to be conducted will depend on the interests of the successful applicant, however its focus will be on ecosystem services, the factors contributing to their quantity and quality, and their value to society. This work would be at least partially based on analyses of the Cedar Creek dataset gathered from long-term observational and experimental field studies, as well as cross-LTER syntheses.
Questions should be addressed to Drs. Stephen Polasky, [email protected] or David Tilman, [email protected], Department of Ecology, Evolution, and Behavior.
