POSTDOCTORAL FELLOWSHIP
________________________________________
Pollinator Tracking of Plant Migrations
Induced by Global Warming
________________________________________
A 3-year study sponsored by the Environmental Protection Agency
PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
This will be the first study to document the degree to which native
pollinator guilds are capable of faithfully tracking the rapid
distributional changes that global warming may induce in their
floral hosts. The local taxonomic compositions of guilds of bees
visiting creosote bush will be quantitatively sampled & associated
with known dates of this shrub's range expansion over the past 40
centuries. Spatio-temporal correlations will be sought using GIS
between ranges & attributes of the guilds of bees, climate,
topography, soils & local dates of floral host invasion.
QUALIFICATIONS:
1. Ph.D. in entomology, ecology, botany or related field.
2. Experience with bee taxonomy and ecology is highly desirable.
3. Preferred candidate will be familiar with quantitative methods,
statistics, GIS and southwestern U.S. deserts.
Nationally competitive salary commensurate with qualifications.
APPLICATION: Submit cover letter and curriculum vitae to include:
1) transcripts of all college and university credits
2) training, experience, achievements
3) publications
4) the names, mailing and e-mail addresses, and phone and fax
numbers of three references that may be contacted this autumn.
CLOSING DATE: November 15 1993, or until a suitable candidate is
found. Position is available December 1 1993.
