PhD and Postdoctoral Positions in Canada - Coral Resilience to Climate
Change

The Baum Lab (*https://baumlab.weebly.com/ <https://baumlab.weebly.com/>*)
at the University of Victoria seeks to recruit a Post-doctoral researcher
and a PhD student to investigate mechanisms of coral resilience to climate
change. The projects will draw upon molecular, ecological, and
oceanographic data collected over the past decade as part of the Baum Lab’s
long-term field program on Kiritimati (Christmas Island) in the central
equatorial Pacific Ocean. Experience in molecular and/or microbial ecology
strongly desired. Interested postdoctoral candidates should also have
excellent programming skills, advanced knowledge of bioinformatics and
statistics, experience working with large data sets. Aspects of this
research could also focus on coral genetics and/or stable isotopes, so
interest and experience in these areas could also be beneficial. Experience
in coral reef ecosystems beneficial but not required.



The new post-doc or student will join a productive and collegial lab, and
will be able to interact with a strong group of ecologists and conservation
biologists at UVic. She/he could also spend 1-2 semesters working with our
international coral collaborators.



Post-doctoral candidates must have completed their PhD by Spring or Summer
2020, and have excellent academic and publication records. PhD candidates
must have completed an MSc degree or a BSc Honours by Spring or Summer
2020. Relevant work or research experience is also considered an asset.
Owing to funding requirements, admission to the lab for these positions
requires an NSERC Postdoctoral Fellowship (
http://www.nserc-crsng.gc.ca/Students-Etudiants/PD-NP/PDF-BP_eng.asp) or an
NSERC graduate scholarship
(*http://www.nserc-crsng.gc.ca/Students-Etudiants/PG-CS/CGSD-BESCD_eng.asp
<http://www.nserc-crsng.gc.ca/Students-Etudiants/PG-CS/CGSD-BESCD_eng.asp>*).
As such, interested candidates must be Canadian (or permanent residents of
Canada), have excellent academic (and publication) records, and apply for
these funding sources this fall. Postdoctoral applicants who receive an
NSERC Fellowship will have their salary topped up by Baum Lab research
funds. PhD applicants who receive an NSERC scholarship will have their
stipends topped up by an additional internal UVic award.



If you meet the above criteria, please email Professor Julia Baum (
baum at uvic.ca) *as soon as possible* because deadlines for fellowship and
scholarship applications are coming up over the several weeks.
