ESA ecology certification
21/01/12 01:17 Filed in: Research
The Ecological Society of America’s Board of Professional Certification would like to remind those members who wish to submit their applications to become certified ecologists in 2012 that the February 1 primary deadline is fast approaching. Since 1981, the professional certification program has provided recognition for ecologists who seek to incorporate ecological principles in decision-making, who meet a minimum set of standards in education and experience, and who adhere to high ethical standards as outlined in the ESA Code of Ethics.

Postdoc: climate change and Rocky Mountain fishes
Consequences of Climate Change for Alpine Lake-Stream Networks and Native Fishes in the Southern Rocky Mountains
Climate change has the potential to influence western native trout through multiple pathways including increased temperatures, wildfire, and more variable precipitation and runoff patterns. These threats, along with the recreational and conservation importance of native trout, amplify the need to understand the potential consequences of climate change for these fishes. Currently, predictive models account for abiotic habitat characteristics for rivers (for example, stream temperature) that are driven by climate, but these models have little applicability to lake systems.

Postdoc: permafrost in a warming world
Postdoctoral research position in the Department of Biology at the University of Florida
We are seeking to fill a Postdoctoral research position in the Department of Biology at the University of Florida. The fellow will assist in a Department of Energy funded project focused on the fate of permafrost carbon in a warming world. The research is field and lab based, with the primary field location near Denali National Park and Preserve, Alaska. The research foci are (1) net ecosystem carbon exchange and loss of old C from a gradient of sites undergoing permafrost thaw, and similar measurements in (2) a new experimental manipulation of permafrost thaw and water table. Radiocarbon measurements of C pools and fluxes are an important component of this project for determining the age of C losses from ecosystems.
