Postdoctoral Position in Population Ecology A postdoctoral position in population ecology is available in the Jha Lab at The University of Texas at Austin. The successful candidate will develop high impact research projects to explore one or more of the following topics: 1) The dispersal and colonization processes of native plants across human-altered landscapes 2) The foraging and movement ecology of native pollinators and 3) The population genetics of plants and pollinators across spatial scales.
Jha's current research utilizes field and lab experiments in combination with molecular tools to examine the influence of land use change and phenology on plant and pollinator movement biology, population ecology, and species interactions. Projects take place in both temperate and tropical systems. More information about the lab can be found here: http://w3.biosci.utexas.edu/jha/ Applicants must a have Ph.D. in Ecology, Evolution, Biology, Genetics, or a related field, and experience with molecular techniques (e.g., PCR, sequencing, analyzing SNP & microsat data, etc). Funding is available for one year with the possibility of renewal. In addition, the successful applicant may work collaboratively with the PI to obtain additional funding. The start date is flexible, but the PI encourages interested candidates to submit their applications as soon as possible. To apply, please submit a curriculum vitae, a one-page research statement, and names of three references via email to Dr. Shalene Jha at [email protected]. ------------------ Shalene Jha Assistant Professor The University of Texas at Austin Integrative Biology 1 University Station C0930 Austin, Texas 78712-0253 https://w3.biosci.utexas.edu/jha/
