Postdoctoral Research Associate
Center for Ecology and Evolutionary Biology
Posting: 11109
Location: Eugene
Closes: Open Until Filled
Postdoctoral Position in Theoretical Ecology and Evolution
Jessica Green (http://biology.uoregon.edu/people/green/) and Brendan
Bohannan (http://biology.uoregon.edu/ceeb/faculty_pages/Bohannan/) are
currently seeking a postdoctoral researcher to collaborate on projects
combining theoretical and empirical approaches to explore fundamental
questions in microbial ecology and evolution. Applicants should have a
PhD with extensive quantitative training (e.g. in theoretical
ecology/evolution, physics, or applied math), expertise in coding
mathematical and statistical models, and strong writing skills. The
successful candidate will play a key role in the Biology and Built
Environment (BioBE) Center (http://biology.uoregon.edu/biobe/). The
BioBE Center is training a new generation of innovators and
practitioners at the architecture-biology interface to understand the
built environment microbiome - the diversity of indoor microbial life,
their genetic elements and their interactions. The vision of this
national research center, funded by the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation, is
to integrate recent advances in microbial genomics and biological theory
to develop hypothesis-driven, evidence-based approaches to sustainable
building design.
The position is available for 1 year with the possibility for renewal
