[Erica Young]

Hi all,

We would like to advertise a post-doc research position based at University of
Wisconsin-Milwaukee, and the UWM Field Station at Cedarburg Bog. The position
will involve working with a team of plant ecologists to characterise long term
change in plant communities in this Experimental Ecological Reserve. The full
advertisement is attached and pasted below:

RESEARCH ASSOCIATE (Postdoctoral Researcher)

Full time (12 month) research position to supervise surveys of plant species and
analyze long-term ecological change in a protected wetland, Cedarburg Bog, at
University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee Field Station
(http://www.uwm.edu/Dept/fieldstation/home.html) and within the Dept of
Biological Sciences (http://www.uwm.edu/Dept/Biology/).  A PhD with a focus on
plant ecology and climate change is preferred, but we will consider exceptional
MS - level candidates. The successful candidate will work both independently and
with a team of PIs to characterize long term changes in plant species
distribution and abundance, breeding bird abundance and phenology in a
vulnerable wetland and vegetation type which occurs at the southern extreme of
its distribution. The position will involve data mining to generate a long term
database of ecological change in the wetland and analyze this database for long
term trends. The candidate will also assist with writing research proposals to
support ongoing long term monitoring of the wetland. Proficiency with
ecological statistics and data analysis and good communication skills are
required.

We offer a competitive salary and full benefits. Initial appointment will be for
one year with the possibility of renewal for a second year. Start date is
