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.

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.
