*Postdoctoral Research Associate on Flow Ecology in Headwater Streams* We seek a Postdoctoral Research Associate as part of a national, interdisciplinary team investigating fish and benthic macroinvertebrate community responses to flow variation in headwater streams. Predictive spatial modeling of drought and flood effects is an important aspect of this research problem. Candidates should have experience in stream flow assessment, spatial modeling, and fish and benthic macroinvertebrate ecology with an emphasis on species traits.
