Postdoc – Spatial analysis of urban invasive insects (California, USA)

An opening is available for a postdoctoral researcher in the Department of
Entomology at UC Riverside (http://entomology.ucr.edu/) to study the
spatiotemporal dynamics of urban invasive insects, such as the Asian citrus
psyllid (Diaphorina citri) and glassy-winged sharpshooter (Homalodisca
vitripennis), in Southern California. The researcher will leverage existing
datasets on these invasive species to understand the conditions that
contribute to their establishment and spread. Applicants should have a Ph.D.
in ecology, entomology, or a related field and have extensive training in
biostatistics. Experience with spatial statistics and GIS is highly desirable.
Funding is guaranteed for 1 year with the potential for renewal for an
additional two years. For more details or to apply, contact Matt Daugherty,
mattd@ucr.edu.
