Ecology

Wellesley College invites applications for a two-year Paulson Initiative Postdoctoral Scholar position to begin in Summer 2020. The Paulson Ecology of Place Initiative goal is to connect students to their natural environment and sense of place, and transform the Wellesley College campus into a living laboratory. Wellesley's campus is a unique landscape that includes a diversity of ecosystems and natural topography that allows for hands-on, multidisciplinary research right outside the door of the classroom.

The Department of Environmental Science, Policy, and Management (ESPM) and the Department of Ethnic Studies at the University of California, Berkeley invite applications for a tenure-track Assistant Professor faculty position in the area of Native American Studies and the Environment with an expected start date of July 1, 2020.

The Ecosystems Center of the Marine Biological Laboratory (MBL) is hiring faculty at all levels to expand our program in coastal ecosystems ecology. Scientists with an interest in collaborative, interdisciplinary studies on coastal estuaries, bays, marshes, and/or coastal watersheds across the globe will be considered. Applicants from communities underrepresented in science, or with a strong history of service to these communities, are particularly encouraged.

The Department of Environmental Science, Policy, and Management (ESPM) at the University of California, Berkeley invites applications for a tenure-track Assistant Professor faculty position in the area of Plant Ecology of Changing Ecosystems with an expected start date of July 1, 2020.

The School of Integrative Plant Science (SIPS) at Cornell University (sips.cals.cornell.edu) invites applications for a tenure track professorial position (60% Research: 40% Extension) in Horticulture, with emphasis on the Physiology of Fruit Crop Adaptation to Climate Change. A variety of research methods may be employed to address the complexity of plant physiology and environmental interactions with an emphasis on elucidating mechanisms underlying the interaction between fruit crops and climate change.

The Joint Institute for the Study of the Atmosphere and Ocean (JISAO) at the University of Washington (UW) seeks Postdoctoral Scholars with research interests in atmospheric science, climate science, fisheries science and management, and/

Rationale

Understanding and predicting the behavior of complex biological systems requires a framework that can integrate across levels of biological organization and incorporate and facilitate mechanistic understanding. These are the stimuli that drive future research in biology. Meeting this challenge requires a multidisciplinary approach that involves strong integration (or re- integration) of molecular biology with organismal biology.

The Yale Institute for Biospheric Studies (YIBS) was established in 1990 through a generous bequest from Yale alumnus Edward P. Bass. YIBS is an umbrella environmental science organization that supports the environmental community at Yale University through research and training, grants and fellowships, and weekly seminars and events (yibs.yale.edu). The newly established Hutchinson Environmental Program, named in honor of G.
