PLSC PDF Grassland Genomics and Ecosystem Services
4 months ago
Primary Purpose: Successful individuals will join a set of new, highly collaborative, and well-funded projects exploring multi-trophic interactions in grassland ecosystems and identifying management interventions that can enhance the associated ecosystem services.
Nature of Work: Our group's focus in these projects will be on understanding how the species and genetic composition of plant assemblages influence soil microbial communities and the consequences of those relationships for multiple ecosystem services. We will explore these questions using observational studies, and field and greenhouse experiments. There will be considerable opportunity to collaborate with researchers across an array of fields (ecology, plant breeding, soil science, entomology, and artificial intelligence), and to integrate data generated by other groups into wholistic analyses. While there are defined deliverables for these projects, each position can be shaped by the interests of the successful applicant.
Accountabilities: The successful candidates will primarily work on integrating existing and incoming data linking plant and soil microbial communities to plant productivity, soil carbon, and plant-insect interactions. We have multiple existing data sets including plant and soil data collected from natural and seeded grasslands across the Canadian prairies and will be collecting large volumes of similar data as part of our newly funded projects. The successful candidates will be expected to 1) help coordinate data collection and data management across all studies and 2) lead integrative data analysis in collaboration with more senior researchers. Planned research will be divided between the two positions based on the successful candidates' interests; however, there will also be significant opportunity for independent research in both positions. Must be willing to relocate to Saskatoon, SK, as both positions involve significant on-site work.
Education: Must have received a PhD in a relevant discipline within the last 5 years, or anticipated defense prior to September 2024.
Experience: Must be the lead author on at least one paper published or in review at a peer reviewed venue, preferably an ISI indexed journal. Experience generating and analyzing soil microbiome data. Experience working with large datasets and complex analytical methods (e.g., random forests, structural equation models, etc.)
Skills: Candidate must possess excellent oral and written communication skills in English. This position requires a motivated, reliable and well-organized person who is able to function independently and also work in a multi-disciplinary group environment.
To Apply:
Interested applicants must include a cover letter (which includes a description of how your interests and experience fit this position) as well as a CV. Application review will begin immediately, and positions will remain open until suitable candidates are found.
The start dates for these positions are flexible and can be immediate; however, we seek at least one candidate to start prior to May 2024. Consequently, early availability is considered an asset.
