2nd announcement- The Heffernan Lab is seeking a post-doctoral scholar to help understand the formation and distribution of depressional wetlands and other landforms in karst landscapes, using Big Cypress National Preserve<http://heffernanlab.weebly.com/florida-everglades.html> in south Florida as a focal case study. To read more about the Big Cypress landscape, see Cohen et al. 2011<http://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/10643389.2010.531224> and Watts et al. 2014<http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/esp.3597/abstract>. In collaboration with PIs Jim Heffernan and Brad Murray, the post-doctoral scholar will lead development of spatially-explicit models of interactions among hydrologic, ecological, geochemical, and geomorphic processes. The model will evaluate whether these processes are responsible for the distinctive, regular patterning of cypress dome wetlands and other karst features. The successful applicant will have a degree in the earth or environmental sciences (ecohydrology, biogeochemistry, ecomorphodynamics); experience with the development of spatially-explicit models; and demonstrated success in scholarly publication. Previous experience in collaborative projects at the interface of ecological and earth sciences, and with research in karst landscapes, is preferred. Preferred start date is May 2015, but can be flexible depending on the successful candidate's schedule. Salary and benefits will conform to Duke policy (https://postdoc.duke.edu/). Submit applications (letter of interest, CV, references, up to 3 reprints), and direct inquiries, to [email protected]. Review of applications will begin October 15th.
