Postdoctoral position in Spatial Phylogenetics open at the University and Jepson Herbaria, University of California, Berkeley
Position description:
We invite applications for a Postdoctoral Scholar to join in a collaborative project newly funded by NSF entitled "Integrating Traits, Phylogenies and Distributional Data to Forecast Risks and Resilience of North American Plants.”
This postdoc will be based primarily at UC Berkeley under the supervision of Brent Mishler, but will also collaborate closely with Shawn Laffan at the University of New South Wales. This postdoc will join a community of three other postdocs supported across the project at collaborating institutions, thus will enjoy a rich array of collaborators & mentors and gain experience with a diverse set of phylogenetic tools. The primary responsibilities will be to help Mishler and Laffan manage spatial data, carry-out phylodiversity analyses, and develop new methods to be incorporated in the Biodiverse software package
Application deadline: 6 March 2024
