I am currently looking to recruit post-docs to my research group in the Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology in the University of Tennessee, Knoxville. Two 12-month positions are currently advertised, one focused more on ecological theory and the other more on data analysis related to conservation problems (see below).
POSITION 1: Post-Doctoral Research Associate -Ecology & Evolutionary Biology-Pay Grade 00, - Salary DOE&Q - Full Time -Postdoctoral research Associate in biodiversity conservation. A 12 month position beginning January 1, 2011. The PDRA will help collate and analyze spatial data on conservation investment patterns in the US. The project aims to determine the relative effectiveness of different conservation investment strategies in different ecological and socioeconomic contexts. The PDRA will be expected to contribute to grant development and writing, writing papers or reports, giving presentation and other duties required by the Department or Principal Investigator. Ph.D. in Biology or related field is required. Proficiency in English required. Experience with GIS and analysis of spatial ecological data, strong quantitative skills required.
