CANPOLIN, and the successful applicant will be engaged in cross-network analyses
of data collected in the first three years of our network.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>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.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">

the distribution of plant mating systems of the Canadian flora, in an effort to
elucidate the pollinator dependence of our flora. <SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>The appointment is shared between
University of Calgary and Simon Fraser University, but the successful applicant
