Dear friends and colleagues,

I hope this email finds you well. I'm seeking a postdoc on a new project
and contacting my network to try to reach a wide audience. If you can think
of a great applicant, or someone who trains PhD students with these skills,
I would be grateful if you'd forward this on to them.

Thank you! Elsa


The Cleland lab at the University of California, San Diego seeks an
outstanding postdoctoral scholar to join our research group. This scholar
will work with the newly established Wildland-Urban Interface Climate
Action Network. WUICAN ("we can") is a multidisciplinary team of
researchers with the shared goal of co-creating knowledge and climate
solutions that ensure a resilient relationship between society and wild
landscapes. In collaboration with the Climate Science Alliance, the
postdoctoral scholar will lead a project that supports opportunities for
tribes and community groups to partner with universities and land managers
to take collaborative actions around climate adaptation.

We are seeking independent, passionate, and highly motivated applicants for
a postdoctoral position in climate adaptation. Research in the Cleland lab
focuses on ecological and evolutionary responses of plants to global
changes, including fire and invasion by exotic species, as well as
restoration to mitigate these changes. The successful candidate will
coordinate activities with our community partners, engage in collaborative
research, and communicate results to a broad audience. This project is a
collaboration across three academic institutions and many community and
tribal led groups, providing opportunities to learn from diverse voices and
disciplines. Salary is competitive and depends on prior experience, and
salary scales can be found here: https://biology.ucsd.edu/jobs/postdoc.html

Applicant Requirements:
Requirements include a Ph.D. in the biological or environmental sciences,
knowledge of climate adaptation strategies and approaches for inquiry in
this field, and evidence of past engagement with community partners and/or
tribal organizations. A track record of academic publishing preferred.
Skills in collaboration and communication are essential.

How to Apply:
This is a two-year position, including full benefits and opportunities for
professional development. Applicants should send an email with the subject
“climate adaptation postdoc” to Prof. Cleland (ecleland at ucsd.edu) along
with a CV, statement of relevant research experience/interests, and contact
information for three references. Applications submitted by Oct 15th, 2023
will receive priority consideration, but the position will remain open
until filled. Start date is ideally between November 15th and December 1st
2023. Our lab is growing and includes individuals with a wide range of
interests, come join us!
