Dear FORENT and FORPATH,
My lab (Forest Health/Garnas lab at the Univ. of New Hampshire, USA;
http://mypages.unh.edu/garnaslab) seeks a postdoctoral scholar to examine how host tree
and climate drives establishment success of the parasitoid wasp, Tetrastichus
planipennisi, introduced to control populations of the invasive Emerald ash borer. The
successful candidate will help plan and oversee fieldwork across a climate gradient
ranging from Missouri to Minnesota and will be responsible for data management, analysis
and interpretation, and publication of results. The position is located in Durham, NH with
occasional travel to field sites. Remote work is possible in the case of an exceptional
fit.
Applicants should have:
* PhD degree (in Ecology, Evolution, Forestry, Natural Resources, Biostatistics, or
related field) in hand by the start date, preferably January 3rd, 2023 or soon thereafter
* Strong statistical, analytical, and data wrangling skills
* Demonstrated programming ability (i.e., R, python, etc.) or facility with other
statistical software
* Evidence of a growing publication record consistent with the candidate's career
stage
This project is a collaborative effort between the Garnas lab at the University of New
Hampshire and Dr. Juli Gould at the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS).
Funding for this project is currently available for one year, with a high probability for
renewal for an additional one or more years, assuming satisfactory performance.
