Dear colleagues,

We are recruiting a Postdoctoral Associate to participate in a
collaborative NSF-funded study of eco-evolutionary responses to climate
change across the geographic range of the scarlet monkeyflower. Please
distribute to any interested candidates!

Thanks,

Postdoctoral position in Plant Evolutionary Ecology

Department of Plant and Microbial Biology

North Carolina State University



The Sheth plant evolutionary ecology lab <https://seemasheth.weebly.com/>
in the Department of Plant and Microbial Biology <http://pmb.cals.ncsu.edu/>
at North Carolina State University <http://ncsu.edu/> (Raleigh, NC) is
currently seeking a highly motivated postdoctoral associate to participate
in an NSF-funded study of eco-evolutionary responses to climate change
across a species range. We combine field, greenhouse, and growth chamber
experiments, demographic modeling, and quantitative genetics to examine
constraints to adaptation to climate across species geographic ranges. We
strive to foster an inclusive environment where people from all backgrounds
are respected and we especially welcome applicants from groups that have
historically been underrepresented or excluded.



The successful candidate will contribute to studies of eco-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’s primary responsibilities involve coordinating
research among multiple institutions by establishing and monitoring field
and greenhouse experiments, training and managing personnel, managing and
analyzing data, and contributing to the dissemination of results through
manuscripts and presentations. The position is based out of NCSU and
requires travel to California and Oregon 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. The postdoc will be co-mentored by Dr. Chris Muir
<https://cdmuir.netlify.app/> at the University of Hawaii, and will
interact with the research teams of Drs. Lluvia Flores-Renteria
<https://lluviafloresr.wixsite.com/lluviafloreslab> at San Diego State
University, Jay Sexton <https://sextonlab.ucmerced.edu/> at UC Merced, and Jeff
Diez <https://diezlab.netlify.app/> at the University of Oregon.



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 analyses of
quantitative genetic and/or demographic data 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 Fall 2022 or
Spring 2023.



TO APPLY: Please submit the following materials to
https://jobs.ncsu.edu/postings/156962: 1) a cover letter describing your
previous research experience and qualifications for this position, along
with your current and future research interests (1-2 pages), 2) current CV,
and 3) contact information for 3 references. Review of applications will
begin on March 1 and continue until the position is filled. Feel free to
email Dr. Sheth if you have any questions about this position.
