[Pollinator] Not for Australians!: Postdoc Research Assoc - Pollination Ecology

[Peter Bernhardt]

Dear Colleagues:

I sent Ms. Sanchez's advertisement (below) to Gary Wilson in Australia
(James Cook U., Queensland) as a number of people receive PhDs in Entomology
every year but employment rates are considered poor since CSIRO dissolved
much of its Entomology Division.  I thought that a recent PhD in
Entomology/Pollination in Australia would leap at the opportunity to do a
postdoc in Florida.   Look at Gary's reply.  In other words, a PostDoc in
Australia makes most of my current salary if we convert the strong
Australian dollar to the weak American.  My annual salary is based on 26
years of service to the same institution.

Peter

*Postdoctoral Research Associate position in Pollination Ecology –
University of Florida*

*Employing unit: *Florida Museum of Natural History ****

*Start date: *October 1, 2011 ****

*Duration: *The position is full-time fixed term for two years. ****

*Post type: *Postdoctoral Research Associate, full-time, fixed-term ****

*Pay Rate: *$32,000-$32,960 per year (2 years) ****

We are seeking to appoint a highly motivated Postdoctoral Researcher to
coordinate large-scale field experiments assessing the role of various
roadside vegetation management practices (mowing frequency, wildflower
augmentation) for enhancing habitat and floral resources for insect
pollinators. The successful applicant will be responsible for developing and
analyzing a dataset of pollinator diversity resulting from insect surveys
undertaken in north-central Florida. ****

The position will begin as soon as a qualified applicant is found and is
available for a two year period. Qualifications: a Ph.D. in ecology,
entomology, or a related field; demonstrated expertise in collecting field
data and managing large field research projects; excellent organizational
skills; and strong data analysis and writing skills. Preference will be
given to applicants with prior experience working with native bees or
pollination biology. Taxonomic knowledge of both pollinators (especially
native bees) and plants is desired. Landscape ecology, GIS and modeling
skills would be welcomed but are not essential. ****

The post will report directly to the project Principal Investigator, Dr.
Jaret Daniels, and will receive general guidance and training from him and
the other Principal Investigator Dr. Delano Lewis. The successful applicant
must be self-motivated and able to work independently and on their own
initiative, and as part of a multi-disciplinary team. ****
