Pay Rate: $32,000-$32,960 per year (2 years)

We are seeking to appoint a highly motivated Postdoctoral Researcher to 
coordinate large-scale field experiments assessing the role of various 
roadside vegetation management practices (mowing frequency, wildflower 
augmentation) for enhancing habitat and floral resources for insect 
pollinators. The successful applicant will be responsible for developing 
and analyzing a dataset of pollinator diversity resulting from insect 
surveys undertaken in north-central Florida.

The position will begin as soon as a qualified applicant is found and is 
available for a two year period. Qualifications: a Ph.D. in ecology, 
entomology, or a related field; demonstrated expertise in collecting 
field data and managing large field research projects; excellent 
organizational skills; and strong data analysis and writing skills. 
Preference will be given to applicants with prior experience working with 
native bees or pollination biology. Taxonomic knowledge of both 
pollinators (especially native bees) and plants is desired. Landscape 
ecology, GIS and modeling skills would be welcomed but are not essential.

The post will report directly to the project Principal Investigator, Dr. 
Jaret Daniels, and will receive general guidance and training from him 
and the other Principal Investigator Dr. Delano Lewis. The successful 
applicant must be self-motivated and able to work independently and on 
their own initiative, and as part of a multi-disciplinary team.
