*Are you concerned about global change? Interested in conducting
high-impact, original research using biodiversity data collected across the
globe? Do you have a background in ecology, evolution, environmental data
science, statistics, or a related field?*
------------------------------

The Park lab <https://www.bio.purdue.edu/lab/park/> at Purdue University is
seeking a postdoctoral researcher to lead the analysis of spatial and
temporal biodiversity data.

The postdoctoral researcher will conduct research using natural history
collections, citizen science data, and on-the-ground and/or
remotely-collected data to questions of invasion ecology, phenology, and
biogeography in the context of global change. The ideal applicant would
have strong quantitative skills. Responsibilities will include statistical
analysis of large datasets, leading and collaborating on scientific
manuscripts, assisting in proposal writing, and developing new research
ideas. The lab is supportive of opportunities for professional development
(e.g., conferences, workshops), and the postdoc will have the opportunity
to develop and pursue their own research questions in conjunction with the
general interests of the lab.

Essential qualifications include:

   - A Ph.D. in ecology, evolution, systematics/biogeography, statistics,
   data science, or related fields at time of appointment.
   - Excellent written and oral communication skills (English).
   - Experience with R and/or other programming languages (e.g., Python).
   - Ability to conduct independent quantitative research, articulate
   scientific questions and findings, and publish in scientific journals.

The initial appointment will be at 100% time for one year with the
possibility of extension based on satisfactory performance and funding. The
start date is flexible. Salary commensurate with qualifications and
experience. We strive to provide a flexible, comfortable, inclusive
environment for research and professional growth, and prospective postdocs
from under-represented groups and minorities are encouraged to apply.
Purdue has excellent resources for ecological research, including
well-equipped field stations and core facilities for genomics,
metabolomics, phenotyping, microscopy, and high-throughput computing.
Purdue offers competitive benefits, and the Lafayette/West Lafayette area
is known for its low cost of living and high quality of life and is within
an hour's drive of Indianapolis and two hours of Chicago. There is a
vibrant community of ecologists at Purdue, spread across several
departments, with many opportunities for collaboration outside the lab
group. Applications will be accepted until the position is filled, and
reviewed as they are submitted.

To apply, please submit the following to: danielpark [at] purdue [dot] edu
<danielpark at purdue.edu>.

   - A cover letter highlighting relevant research interests, skills, and
   experience, and your preferred start date (1 – 2-pages).
   - Recent CV with names/contact information of 2-3 professional
   references.
   - Any other materials you wish to share that would help us evaluate your
   suitability.

 Questions and informal inquiries about the position are welcome.
