Applications
are invited for a postdoctoral research associate in PALEOECOLOGY at
the University of New Mexico. Support exists for
a 1-2 year appointment with extension subject to successful progress.
The candidate will work with Drs. Felisa Smith and Seth Newsome at UNM
on a new project investigating the ecological consequences of the
terminal Pleistocene megafauna extinction on surviving
mammals in North America (see Smith et al. 2016. Ecography 39:223-239; Smith
et al. 2016. Ecography 39:99-108).
Active involvement in planned or ongoing projects is expected; these
might include 2 or 3D morphological analyses, stable isotope studies,
species
distribution modeling or other activities. The successful applicant
will conduct original research, write manuscripts for publication, and
assist with writing grant proposals. A Ph.D. in ecology, paleontology,
biology, or a related discipline is required,
along with quantitative skills and a strong publication
record. Experience with statistical analysis and R programming,
phylogenetic methodologies, or paleontology is highly desirable. NOTE:
we are also looking for some talented graduate students who are
interested
in employing a historical or paleo-perspective to study issues in
conservation.
Please email a CV and a letter of interest, including contact telephone numbers and email addresses for three references to fasmith@unm.edu by
October 15, 2016. The University of New Mexico is an equal access/equal
opportunity/affirmative action employer fully committed to achieving a
diverse workforce.
