A postdoctoral position in biodiversity forecasting and extinction risk is available in the laboratory of Blair Hedges in the Center for Biodiversity at Temple University, Philadelphia. Funding for the position comes from the NSF program “Biodiversity on a Changing Planet” (BoCP). The research project tests hypotheses of global change and extinction risk across landscapes and through time using animal and plant species.
A PhD in a relevant field and fluency in English are required, as well as proven expertise in spatial modelling and scripting languages (e.g. R, Python). The ideal candidate will have experience with large biodiversity datasets including climate and landcover layers, cluster computing, be able to develop new ideas independently, and be an excellent team worker. The successful candidate will join a team of researchers from several institutions with expertise in organismal and evolutionary biology, satellite remote sensing, and extinction risk.
The Center for Biodiversity is located within Temple's Science, Education, and Research Center (SERC) on the main campus. It is affiliated with the Department of Biology and College of Science and Technology. Temple University is located in the heart of historic Philadelphia, home to many academic and research institutions as well as numerous cultural attractions.
Interested persons should send an e-mail to Prof. S. Blair Hedges (sbh@temple.edu) briefly stating their previous research, future career goals, and motivation for this project. Also, attach a full curriculum vitae that contains contact information for three academic references. Review of applications will begin immediately and continue until the position is filled.
The successful candidate could start immediately (preferred) or later in 2025. Temple University is an equal opportunity and equal access employer committed to achieving a diverse workforce (AA, EOE, m/f/d/v).
