<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify">The Santa Barbara Botanic Garden’s mission is to conserve California native plants and habitats for the health and well-being of people and the planet. Since the 1930s, staff members of the Garden have developed
and maintained an intimate knowledge of the California flora, with an emphasis on the plants and vegetation communities of California’s Central Coast and the offshore islands. Today, we take a comprehensive approach to its conservation from genes to ecosystems,
with comprehensive plant systematics, rare plant conservation, community ecology, and habitat restoration functions. This allows us to more thoroughly tackle the conservation challenges of our day, such as habitat loss and fragmentation, invasive species,
and pollinator decline.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><u><span style="color:black"><o:p><span style="text-decoration:none"> </span></o:p></span></u></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><u>Overview:</u></b><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify">The <b>Invertebrate Biodiversity Postdoctoral Scholar</b> will conduct terrestrial invertebrate surveys on San Clemente Island, coarsely identify and database the resulting specimens, and interface with entomological
experts across California to facilitate their identification to the species level. This Postdoc will work as part of a team, following protocols outlined in a contract with the U.S. Navy, for a project designed to further our understanding of the island’s
invertebrates and plant-insect interactions, while also gaining knowledge that will guide rare plant and habitat restoration. This is a full time (40 hours per week), one-year long, exempt position that reports to the Director of Conservation and Research.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify">The ideal candidate will have a Ph.D. in Entomology, with a concentration in the systematics and taxonomy of Diptera, Hymenoptera, Coleoptera, Hemiptera, or Lepidoptera. General proficiency in all other groups
to family level is necessary. Opportunities for professional development will include: networking with entomological experts across California and beyond to identify and describe San Clemente Island invertebrate specimens; preparing a project report and at
least one publication detailing the biodiversity and ecology of San Clemente Island and the benefits of our approach which simultaneously achieves biodiversity inventory and conservation planning; and offering at least one local lecture or workshop to inspire
an understanding and appreciation of entomology and plant-insect interactions.<o:p></o:p></p>
