Dear Colleagues,

We are looking for a postdoc to work on a recently-funded project on
evolutionary responses to climate change in the invasive plant, common
tansy, and consequences for geographic range dynamics. Please pass along to
anyone who may be interested.

Thank you
Dave



*Evolutionary Responses to Climate Change and Consequences for Geographic
Range Dynamics*
The Moeller Lab (moellergroup.org) at the University of Minnesota, Twin
Cities is seeking a postdoctoral associate for a funded project on
evolutionary responses to climate change and consequences for geographic
range dynamics. 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.
