Scientists led by Gary Belovsky at the University of Notre Dame's Environmental Change Initiative (http://environmentalchange.nd.edu/) are designing a large project to examine how climate change may alter grasshopper population dynamics on U.S. rangelands. This long-term project will examine climate change effects on grasshopper feeding, their predators and their parasites/diseases at 12 sites throughout the United States to help forecast where and when grasshoppers may outbreak and what control measures may be required. Positions available: one Postdoctoral Fellow (PDFP with experience in population/community ecology, especially with insects). Review of these applications will begin in October. Applicants should send one single pdf with a cover letter explaining how their research experience and trajectory could contribute to ND-ECI, along with a CV and three reference letters via email to: [email protected]. Please put “Application” in the subject line, along with the name of the appropriate program.
The University of Notre Dame is an equal opportunity employer with a strong institutional and academic commitment to diversity.
