<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;color:black">We have a postdoctoral scholar position to study native bee ecology in grasslands and riparian areas available at Oregon State University
through the Department of Fisheries and Wildlife. The full-time position is located in eastern Oregon at the Hermiston Agricultural Research and Extension Center. The project focuses on the effects of non-native annual grasses, ungulate grazing (including
cattle, deer, and elk), and fire on native bee communities in the Zumwalt Prairie and in riparian areas in the Blue Mountains of northeastern Oregon, primarily within the USFS Starkey Experimental Forest & Range. Two years of funding are currently available,
but the postdoctoral researcher will be hired on an annual basis and extended pending appropriate progress and continued funding.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;color:black">The position requires a combination of expertise in project management, fieldwork, data management and analysis, and publication preparation.
The successful candidate will be conducting fieldwork, supervising graduate and undergraduate students in the field and laboratory, interacting and coordinating projects with collaborators, and working with large, long-term datasets.
