Kind Regards, Kris Jaeger Post-doctoral Research Associate School of Environment and Natural Resources - The Ohio State University We are seeking applications for a post-doctoral research associate in the School of Environment and Natural Resources (SENR) at The Ohio State University starting November 2013 linking stream geomorphology and riparian ecology in agricultural landscapes. Recent studies by members of the Forest Ecosystem Restoration & Ecology Lab in SENR indicate strong boundary effects of isolated woodlots on the structure and diversity of emergent aquatic insect communities. We will expand these analyses to include a more in-depth analysis of how isolated forested woodlots, and the sharp boundaries that characterize these landscapes, drive changes in stream channel geomorphology and riparian function. Such analyses will inform on-going efforts to quantify ecosystem services provided by these ecosystems and develop a prioritization scheme for stream and riparian forest restoration in agricultural landscapes. The position is based at the Ohio Agricultural Research and Development Center (OARDC), The Ohio State University in Wooster, Ohio, located approximately 80 miles northeast of Columbus. This is a 12-month position and includes a competitive salary and benefits. Applicants should have a Ph.D. in fluvial geomorphology, riparian ecology, landscape ecology, or related field. Strong quantitative skills are required and strong GIS skills are preferred. To apply, please email a cover letter explaining your research interests in general and your interest in this position specifically, a CV, and names and contact information for 3 references to either Dr. Kris Jaeger ([email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>) or Dr. Charles Goebel ([email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>), School of Environment and Natural Resources, OARDC, The Ohio State University, 1680 Madison Ave., Wooster, OH 44691. Review of applications will begin immediately. ***************************************** Kristin Jaeger Assistant Professor of Watershed Hydrology School of Environment & Natural Resources Ohio Agricultural Research & Development Center The Ohio State University 1680 Madison Ave. Wooster, Ohio 44691 [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> http://go.osu.edu/KrisJaeger<http://senr.osu.edu/our-people/kristin-jaeger> *****************************************
