Post-doctoral Fellow in Marine Host-Parasite Dynamics
A Sentinels of Change Alliance postdoctoral fellowship
, this focal project will explore the role of environmental variation (e.g., temperature, pH, salinity) linked with global change in shaping the dynamics of parasite infection in intertidal marine invertebrates. Invertebrates are integral members of food webs, sentinels of environmental health, and hosts to parasites reflecting the greater biodiversity in the ecosystem. Field observations on the Salish Sea coast and manipulations will be done in collaboration with community partners, and extensions to lab and/or microcosm experiments are possible.
Biodiversity change in the Salish Sea is a major ecological concern. The need to understand these changes, and their causes, is a primary research objective so that knowledge can be mobilized to inform conservation and policy actions in the region. The Sentinels of Change Alliance brings together Hakai Institute scientists, University of British Columbia scientists, and local communities to deepen our understanding of Salish Sea biodiversity change at an unprecedented scale and resolution. The goals are to implement standard observation systems for biodiversity across a range of taxa, to conduct experiments to test hypotheses about the causes of diversity change, and to integrate knowledge from observation and experimental systems into a sustainable ongoing biodiversity observation system for the Salish Sea.
The Sentinels of Change Alliance project will train postdoctoral researchers and technicians to implement a series of globally recognized biodiversity monitoring programs (e.g. Sentinels light traps, ARMS, MARINe Biodiversity monitoring and other systematic observation and experimental systems). Project personnel will use state of the art data science and statistical approaches in the context of emerging frameworks for detecting and attributing biodiversity change. Sentinel Postdoctoral researchers will be co-advised by UBC professors and Hakai scientists to develop projects that synthesize the information coming in from the monitoring program, as well as provide complementary theory development, mechanistic experiments and monitoring.
Postdoctoral responsibilities and Requirements:
- Use state-of-the-art empirical practices and methods to test hypotheses about invertebrate-parasite ecological and/or evolutionary dynamics.
- Collaborate with the Sentinels team of scientists, postdocs, field and data technicians
- Publish results in peer-reviewed journals a timely fashion
- Be curious and engaged with the project and the work, willing to learn and grow
- Employ excellent communication skills with colleagues, collaborators, and mentors about all aspects of the projects (design, interpretation, challenges, solutions, timelines, and progress)
- Preferred: experience leading field and experimental projects in the fields of parasitology, evolutionary ecology, and biodiversity research; and academic background in those fields.
Project advising team:
Kayla King - UBC PI
Christopher Harley - UBC PI
Alyssa Gehman - Hakai PI
The position is based at the Vancouver campus of the University of British Columbia, which lies on the traditional, ancestral, and unceded territory of the Musqueam people. Hakai is an independent research organization based in British Columbia with many scientists studying the fish, invertebrates, microbes, and seaweeds of coastal ecosystems. The postdoctoral fellow is expected to be able to travel within the Salish Sea Region to participate in experimental work, and accommodation at field stations will be provided.
The expected salary is $70,000.00 per year with benefits as per the UBC postdoctoral fellow benefits package. The offer is for two years, ideally starting fall 2024, with a performance review after one year.
