POTENTIAL PROJECT FOUR: Ecoinformatics
Description: The Postdoctoral Fellow would be engaged in research in
applied ecoinformatics, exploring the interface of information science
and vegetation science. The focus of the project is a large existing
database containing information on vegetation and environment collected
over the past 25 years by the Carolina Vegetation Survey (CVS). Using
modern statistical and informatics tools, the Fellow would take the lead
in analyzing specific questions about spatial and compositional
variation in the natural plant communities of the Carolinas.
Qualifications: We seek an individual with background in both
field-oriented and analytical approaches to study of vegetation.
