We invite biogeographers eligible for the University of California's Presidential Postdoctoral Fellowship Program (PPFP; http://ppfp.ucop.edu/info/) to contact us about projects at the intersection of paleoecology (Blois Lab) and evolution (Dawson Lab). We are looking for a colleague and collaborator who will enrich an ongoing study of community responses to environmental change using tropical marine lakes as a model system (http://www.nsf.gov/pubs/2013/nsf13042/nsf13042.pdf). For more information, see our labs' websites (http://jessicablois.com; http://mnd.ucmerced.edu), the project abstract (www.nsf.gov/awardsearch/showAward?AWD_ID=1241255), then write to us (jblois@ucmerced.edu; mdawson@ucmerced.edu). Successful PPFP applicants receive salary support and research funds for 2 years and subsequently are eligible for the University of California President's hiring incentive (http://ppfp.ucop.edu/info/fellowship-recipients/hiring-incentive.html) to encourage transition of fellows into tenure track faculty positions at any of the UC campuses.
