[Jpjobs] Postdoctoral Researcher Position: Coastal Food Web Ecology

[Julia Westwater]

*Postdoctoral Researcher Position: Coastal Food Web Ecology*

Job Description: A two-year postdoctoral position is available in the 
Polito Lab at Louisiana State University, Department of Oceanography and 
Coastal Sciences. The postdoctoral researcher will focus on the analysis 
of bulk tissue and compound-specific stable isotope measurements of 
amino acids to help understand the ecological effects of multiple 
stressors and subsequent restoration practices on the trophic structure 
and flow of energy through coastal saltmarsh food webs. This position 
will include both laboratory and fieldwork as part of a large, 
interdisciplinary consortium of researchers studying coastal 
environments in the Northern Gulf of Mexico.

Qualifications: The ideal candidate has experience in stable isotope 
analyses and/or coastal ecosystem ecology, but candidates with diverse 
research backgrounds are encouraged to apply. Experience operating small 
boats and conducting fieldwork in estuarine systems is also desirable 
but not required.

Salary & Benefits: Salary will be approximately $48,500 USD per year 
plus benefits and up to a $3,000 relocation incentive payment. Grant 
funding includes travel costs to attend 1-2 scientific conferences per 
year. LSU is committed to diversity and is an equal opportunity / equal 
access employer.

Start Date: Applicant review is ongoing and the position can start as 
early as September 2018, though later start dates will be considered.

Application Instructions: Interested individuals should contact Dr. Mike 
Polito (mpolito at lsu.edu) with questions or to let him know they intend 
to apply. Those attending the Ecological Society of America meeting may 
contact Mike to meet in New Orleans and discuss the opportunity. Full 
application packets should include a cover letter, resume, and three 
professional references. Applications can be submitted via the LSU 
workday portal:

Researcher_R00022008.

Location: The Department of Oceanography and Coastal Sciences applies 
biological, physical, chemical, and geological oceanography and coastal 
science research to pressing issues such as coastal land loss, fisheries 
management, and environmental change. Louisiana State University is 
located in Baton Rouge, Louisiana and is the flagship university for the 
state, supporting land, sea, and space grant research. Situated on the 
Mississippi River, just an hour away from New Orleans, Baton Rouge 
represents the best of Louisiana's vibrant Creole and Cajun culture. 
This state capital is a thriving city with over 300 years of history, 
known for its great people, its unique food, and its lively music and 
festivals.
