POSTDOCTORAL  POSITION 
in  Pollination and Biodiversity 

Simon  Fraser University, British Columbia, and 
University  of Calgary, Alberta 
As  part of the NSERC-funded Canadian Pollination Initiative (CANPOLIN), 
researchers  Elizabeth Elle [_http://www.sfu.ca/biology/faculty/elle/]_ 
(http://www.sfu.ca/biology/faculty/elle/])   and Jana Vamosi 
[_http://homepages.ucalgary.ca/~jvamosi/]_ (http://homepages.ucalgary.ca/~jvamosi/])   invite 
applications for a two-year postdoctoral position in pollination and  
biodiversity.  The NSERC-CANPOLIN  network is a consortium of 40+ researchers in 
pollination biology and provides  many collaborative opportunities [see 
_http://www.uoguelph.ca/canpolin/_ (http://www.uoguelph.ca/canpolin/)   for more 
details]. Drs. Elle and Vamosi head the Ecosystems Working Group within  
CANPOLIN, and the successful applicant will be engaged in cross-network analyses  
of data collected in the first three years of our network.  Individuals with 
experience in the  development of datasets from disparate sources, 
considerable capacity for  independent research, and strong quantitative abilities 
(both spatial analysis  and meta-analysis) are encouraged to apply. Taxonomic 
knowledge of both  pollinators and plants is a plus. The successful 
applicant will be responsible  for developing and analyzing a dataset of pollinator 
diversity resulting from  insect surveys undertaken across Canada.  In 
addition, s/he will contribute to building and analysing a dataset of  the 
distribution of plant mating systems of the Canadian flora, in an effort to  
elucidate the pollinator dependence of our flora.  The appointment is shared 
between  University of Calgary and Simon Fraser University, but the successful 
applicant  will perform the majority of their responsibilities at Simon 
Fraser University,  in the Greater Vancouver region of British Columbia.  
To  apply, please send a letter of application, curriculum vitae, and 
contact  information for three references by  email to Elizabeth Elle 
[_elizabeth_elle at sfu.ca_ (mailto:elizabeth_elle at sfu.ca) ]  and Jana Vamosi 
[_jvamosi at ucalgary.ca_ (mailto:jvamosi at ucalgary.ca)   ].  Review of applications will  
begin in August and continue until a suitable candidate is identified. 
Starting  date is anticipated to be fall or winter of 2011.  Salary and benefits 
will be competitive  with NSERC postdoctoral fellowships and may include some 
additional funding for  travel related to fulfilling responsibilities to 
CANPOLIN.
