[Grottoli, Andrea]

Postdoc position: Acropora palmata coral in the Florida Keys in Grottoli lab at Ohio State University (1 year starting 1 Feb 2020)

The goal of this project is to determine why A. palmata in the Dry Tortugas grows faster and has higher survivorship than their genetic clones in other areas of the Florida Keys. This is collaborative work between Dr. Andrea Grottoli at the Ohio State University (u.osu.edu/grottoli.1) and Dr. Ilsa Kuffner at the U.S. Geological Survey (coastal.er.usgs.gov/crest/) as part of the ongoing permitted research in the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary (FKNMS-2016-085-A1), Dry Tortugas National Park (DRTO-2019-SCI-005), and Biscayne National Park (BISC-2019-SCI-0010). The postdoc will be involved in all aspects of this project including a dive trip and collection in the Florida Keys followed by lipid, stable isotope, and other laboratory analyses, journal publication of results, and presentation and a scientific conference. This postdoc position is for one year. Applicants should send a cover letter, CV, statement of research interests, copy of PhD transcript, and the names and contact information of 3 letter writers (one must be PhD advisor) as a single .pdf document with the applicants name in the file name to grottoli.1 at osu.edu by 15 November 2019. Additional information about the project can be found at https://u.osu.edu/grottoli.1/field-videos/.

Required qualifications: Applicants must have successfully defended their PhD or have their PhD in hand at the time of the application; have relevant laboratory experience
Desirable qualifications: Experience with organic sample preparation for stable isotopic analysis, experience with lipid extractions, record of publication in scientific journals as first author, record of presenting research at scientific meetings/conferences.
