UC Merced: Postdoctoral Opportunity in Mathematical/Statistical Ecology
A postdoctoral position is available for research in mathematical and
statistical ecology
with a focus on microbial diversity in the environment. This research
will involve a
combination of mathematical modeling and microbial ecology. A summary of the
research project is available online at
http://faculty.ucmerced.edu/jgreen/. The successful
candidate will be part of a multidisciplinary research team and a member
of the new UC
Merced Center for Computational Biology. UC Merced is the 10th UC campus
and the
first new US research university of the 21st century. The campus is
located at the base of
the Sierra Nevada foothills, near Yosemite and the San Francisco Bay Area.
A Ph.D. in life sciences, physics, computer science, statistics, or
mathematics, and
experience in biological experiments or modeling is required, as
experience in working in
multidisciplinary teams and demonstrated ability for scientific
accomplishment with
minimal direct guidance. Experience with molecular techniques for
characterizing
microbial community composition is desirable. Appointment is for one
year, extendable
to two years. Applications will be evaluated as they arrive and continue
until the position
is filled.
Interested candidates should submit a CV, publication list, names and
contact
information for three references, and a brief cover letter (not to
exceed one page)
explaining their background and career interests. Please submit
materials at:
http://jobs.ucmerced.edu/view_academic_position.faces?positionId=96.
