<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt;font-size:12pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif">The Biological Sciences Program at Chapman University and
the Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology at the University of
California, Santa Cruz (UCSC) invite applications for the position of
Postdoctoral Scholar under the direction of Professor Jennifer Funk and
Associate Professor Kathleen Kay, funded by an NSF Dimensions of Biodiversity
grant (“Biotic and abiotic drivers of Neotropical plant speciation”). The
scholar will investigate divergent adaptation underlying speciation in the
spiral gingers (monocot genus <i>Costus</i>). The project is a collaboration
among PIs Kathleen Kay (UCSC), Jennifer Funk (Chapman University), Carlos
Garcia-Robledo (University of Connecticut), Dena Grossenbacher (Cal Poly SLO),
and Santiago Ramirez (UC Davis) to uncover patterns and mechanisms of
speciation in a recent, rapid plant radiation throughout Central and South
America. We seek a broadly-trained, collaborative plant ecologist with
expertise in demography and ecophysiology to spearhead multiple reciprocal
transplants of sister species at four field sites in Costa Rica. Primary
responsibilities include experimental design, coordinating and conducting data
collection, managing and analyzing large datasets, mentoring field assistants
and students, coordinating research collaborators, and contributing to the
dissemination of results through manuscripts, presentations, public outreach,
and government/agency reports. The ideal candidate will have experience relating
plant physiology to abiotic and biotic environmental conditions and fitness,
experience conducting field reciprocal transplants, experience with demographic
population modeling, a strong interest in plant adaptation and speciation, and
a track record of publishing in leading journals. The candidate must have a
valid passport through 2022 and excellent logistical planning and time
management skills. Ability to speak some Spanish is desirable. The scholar will
spend the majority of their time in Costa Rica, with ample opportunities for
lab visits and exchanges in the US. More information on the Funk Lab can be
