Requirement: experience in the design and implementation of field experiments. Other qualifications: experience within large-scale experiments and knowledge of population and community ecology (of insects or other taxa).
The Kellogg Biological Station is located in Hickory Corners, MI ~65 miles from the main campus. KBS is home to 14 resident faculty, graduate students, postdocs, research staff, visiting research scientists, and many summer undergraduates. Research covers a broad spectrum of ecology, evolution, and conservation. Salary: $47,000 - $51,000 plus benefits The position is for one year initially, with renewal dependent on performance.
