Postdoc:U.Pittsburgh_Experimental.Evolutionary.Ecology The Turcotte Lab (www.martinturcotte.net) at the University of Pittsburgh is hiring a postdoc to experimentally test the dynamic interplay between rapid evolution and community ecology in the field. Field experiments could be combined with lab experiments, modeling, comparative approaches, or theoretical development. Although, I have some projects in mind, this position is independent of current grants and thus allows you to develop their own research questions. Start date is flexible but I would prefer the candidate to begin as soon as possible.
The Department of Biological Sciences at Pitt is a dynamic and growing team of enthusiastic researchers and educators (6 new Assistant Prof. hires in E&E in the last 1.5 years). The department also runs the Pymatuning Lab of Ecology, which is equipped with lab space and housing to facilitate field-based research. The City of Pittsburgh is a vibrant and beautiful place to live. It is often voted the ‘Most Livable City in the U.S.’. Requirements: Candidates must have a PhD in Ecology, Evolution, Genetics, or related topics. The position is for 1 year with the option to extend for up to 2 more years. A valid drivers license is required. To apply for the position please send an email to me ([email protected]) including a cover letter stating why you are interested in the lab and your past research experience. Please also include your C.V., the contact information for three references, and up to 3 PDFs of relevant publications or manuscripts in prep. Applicants should submit their materials by March 30, 2018 to ensure full consideration. Martin Turcotte, Ph.D., Assistant Professor, Department of Biological Sciences University of Pittsburgh
