Summary:

Join Woodwell Climate Research Center’s Evolving Meta-Ecosystems (EvoME) project as a Research Assistant I in stream ecosystem ecology contributing to the EvoME Institute. We are looking for a broadly trained ecologist to lead research on stream/riparian ecosystem responses to environmental change such as species composition changes (aquatic and terrestrial), litter inputs and decomposition, metabolism, nutrient uptake and trophic subsidies.  Our cross-disciplinary research investigates multiple species’ responses to changes in river and streamside willows in Arctic environments by conducting landscape surveys and large-scale experiments across a thermal/genomic gradient of 300 miles from the Yukon River to the Arctic Coastal plain.
