Hi folks, We've finally got the postdoc ad posted. Review of applications begins on Dec 2. Please share this opportunity with potential candidates.

A Synthesis Postdoctoral Fellowship is available for the Research Coordinated Network for Evolution in Changing Seas (https://rcn-ecs.github.io/). This is an excellent opportunity for the successful candidate to conduct cutting edge synthesis across disciplines and engage with a global network of researchers studying adaptation to ocean change. The postdoc will have the opportunity to develop their own research questions for synthesis and meta-analysis of existing data.

The fellow will be based at Northeastern University’s Marine Science Center and will work closely with PIs Kathleen Lotterhos and Geoff Trussell. NUMSC a strong research presence in evolution and ecology research and there are many opportunities for interaction and collaboration both there and in the greater Boston area.

Duration is for 24 months with an anticipated start date between January and June 2019.

Qualifications	
Must have a Ph.D.; be able to undertake substantially full-time research or scholarship; work under the supervision of a senior scholar.

Specific requirements: Applicants will be expected to develop and lead projects. Candidates are required to have a Ph.D. We welcome candidates from diverse research experiences in different ecosystems, however ideal candidates will have knowledge of marine science, evolutionary processes, and genomics. Candidates should have a strong track record of publication; have demonstrated an ability to manage and analyze large datasets; have strong organizational, written, and oral communication skills; and be able to work both independently and as part of a collaborative team.

b. a 3-4 page proposal (including references) on a synthesis project that you would like to undertake for this postdoc un the broad topic “evolution in changing seas.” Proposals should not require funds for the collection of data, but for the synthesis or modeling/metanalysis of existing data. However, the successful candidate can expect to have access to excellent computational facilities. The proposal should include a timeline (24 months) and a statement describing how the outcomes from the synthesis will advance knowledge in both evolutionary biology and marine science. Please format proposals with 12 point Time New Roman font and 1 inch margins.
