*Postdoctoral position in Plant Evolutionary Ecology *Department of Plant
and Microbial Biology

North Carolina State University


A postdoctoral position is available in Seema Sheth
<http://seemasheth.weebly.com/>’s plant evolutionary ecology lab in
the Department
of Plant and Microbial Biology <http://pmb.cals.ncsu.edu/> at North
Carolina State University <http://ncsu.edu/> in Raleigh, North Carolina. We
study the ecological and evolutionary processes underlying species climatic
niches and geographic ranges, with the aim of understanding evolutionary
and plastic responses to climatic changes. We combine field, greenhouse,
and growth chamber experiments, quantitative genetics, and comparative
analyses to examine constraints to adaptation in populations, species, and
clades.



The successful candidate will contribute to studies of evolutionary
responses to climate change in the scarlet monkeyflower, *Mimulus*
*cardinalis*, a perennial herb that grows in riparian habitats in western
North America. The postdoctoral scholar will participate in ongoing
greenhouse and growth chamber experiments at North Carolina State
University, and will set up and manage field experiments in California.
Primary responsibilities include establishing and monitoring field and
greenhouse experiments, managing and analyzing data, and contributing to
the dissemination of results through manuscripts and presentations. The
position requires travel to California for several weeks each spring/summer
and fall to establish and maintain field experiments. The postdoctoral
scholar will also have opportunities to analyze existing datasets, develop
additional research programs related to the overall objectives of the
project, and gain experience mentoring undergraduate and graduate students.



Candidates must have a Ph.D. in Ecology, Evolutionary Biology, Botany, or a
related discipline, and experience conducting field experiments with
plants. Candidates are also expected to have a background in statistical
methods, a strong work ethic, and excellent problem-solving, interpersonal,
communication, and time management skills. A clear track record of
publications, independent research experience, and a commitment to
mentoring undergraduates is also required. Experience with data analysis in
R is strongly desired.



This position is for one year, with potential for renewal for up to two
additional years. Start date is flexible, but ideally in Summer or Fall
2018.



TO APPLY: Please e-mail a single PDF that includes: 1) a cover letter
describing your previous research experience and qualifications for this
position, along with your current and future research interests, 2) current
CV, and 3) contact information for 3 references, along with separate PDFs
of up to 3 manuscripts (published, in review, or in preparation), to
Seema_Sheth at ncsu.edu. Review of applications will begin immediately and
continue until the position is filled. Feel free to e-mail Dr. Sheth if you
have any questions about this position.
