Dr. Daniel Reuman of the University of Kansas Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology and the Kansas Biological Survey seeks to recruit a postdoctoral researcher. The position is primarily part of a 3-year NSF-funded research project focused on the widespread ecological phenomenon of synchrony, the tendency for populations to rise and fall in unison.
The position will initially focus on analyzing, as an excellent model system, several multi-decadal, large-scale ecological and oceanographic datasets related to California giant kelp forests and sandy beach ecosystems, including those from biodiversity monitoring programs and remote sensing products. The successful candidate will likely also become involved in analyses of other model systems and theoretical approaches. Supplementary funding from the McDonnell Foundation and the California Department of Fish and Wildlife may also support the position. Salary range expected to be about $47,500-60,000.
