*Postdoc Position: Ecological modeling of invasive species in the arid SW,
USA*

A postdoc position is available to work on a collaborative project between
Iowa State University and Rutgers University Newark that has 4 years of
funding. The research centers on the study of the spread of invasive species
into intershrub areas of the Mojave and Sonora Deserts in the Southwestern
U. S., examining the role they might play in enhancing fire risk. The
postdoc will be housed at Iowa State University and will take the lead
in developing
landscape scale models of the dynamic spread of invasive species. Required
skills are knowledge of ecological theory and statistical analysis and the
ability to model in C++, R or similar programming language. Experience with
GIS and spatial analysis are also desired. The successful candidate must be
willing to assist with field work. Anticipated start date is April 2010, but
is negotiable. For further information contact Dr. Kirk A. Moloney (
kmoloney@iastate.edu).  Applications must be filed by February 25 to receive
full consideration.
