Our project focuses on improving forecasts of range expansion for invasive plant species by incorporating knowledge of local adaptation to historical climate variation and its implications for responses to contemporary climate change. The project includes large-scale precipitation and temperature manipulation in combination with reciprocal transplants of genotypes of common tansy (Tanacetum vulgare) across four regions of Minnesota. This experiment has already been established and will continue for at least two additional years. The postdoc will lead data collection, statistical analysis, and publication of major results from the experiment. They will also lead the development of predictive distribution models that incorporate data from the experiment. The project is funded by the Minnesota Invasive Terrestrial Plants and Pest Center (MITPPC). We encourage anyone with interests in the following areas to apply: geographic range dynamics, local adaptation, ecological genetics, eco-evolutionary dynamics, and biogeography. <br></div><div><br></div><div><b>For full ad see attached pdf</b></div></div><div dir="ltr"><div><br clear="all"><div><br></div><span class="gmail_signature_prefix">-- </span><br><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr">Dave Moeller (he/him)<div>Professor<br></div><div>Plant & Microbial Biology</div><div>University of Minnesota</div><div><br></div></div></div></div></div></div>
