Dear RCN colleagues, We are searching for a postdoc! Details below. Please forward and share with potential candidates. Best, Brian -- Postdoctoral Researcher – Marine Global Change Ecology Lab Job Summary We are seeking a postdoctoral researcher to join our NSF funded project investigating the ecological and evolutionary responses of marine species to climate change. This position is a two year appointment, with a renewal for the second year provided satisfactory progress after year one. Specifically, this research combines evolutionary ecology and ecophysiology to understand the mechanisms underlying local adaptation in Atlantic oyster drills (Urosalpinx cinerea) in their native (Atlantic coast United States) and introduced range (Pacific coast United States). The research is focused on temperature dependency of physiological traits (thermal tolerance, growth, consumption, metabolic rate, phenotypic plasticity) using laboratory and field approaches. The position will co-lead the field team, oversee laboratory experiments, and lead manuscript writing. The postdoc will work directly with the Marine Global Change Ecology Lab<https://nam10.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fbscheng.com%2F&data=04%7C01%7Cmferner%40sfsu.edu%7C68aaa9074f2f4995fa3208d9ecaa8699%7Cd8fbe335822c41a987747f16709aac9f%7C0%7C0%7C637801041052794219%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000&sdata=69Fecc7lzQ8v1AxEP3UITopbx6Cu2nC4%2BFH8%2BnTWxAU%3D&reserved=0> (PI Brian Cheng) and collaborate closely with the Molecular Ecology and Conservation Lab<https://nam10.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Flmkomoroske.com%2F&data=04%7C01%7Cmferner%40sfsu.edu%7C68aaa9074f2f4995fa3208d9ecaa8699%7Cd8fbe335822c41a987747f16709aac9f%7C0%7C0%7C637801041052794219%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000&sdata=C9J45fUz2ZH9qtAW%2FOdEmEveR3y7d3VGq6SO9aTCfCM%3D&reserved=0> (PI Lisa Komoroske) and another postdoctoral researcher leading a genomics aspect of the project.
