<h2>Postdoctoral scholar</h2>
<p>The Herbivory Variability Network and <a
href="https://wetzellab.com">The Wetzel Lab at Michigan State
University</a> invite applications for a postdoc scholar to serve as a
research leader and a coordinator in The Herbivory Variability Network
(HerbVar).</p>
<p>HerbVar is an NSF-funded Research Coordination Network (RCN) with the
goal of bringing together scientists from around the world to understand
how plant-herbivore interactions vary across the planet, across
ecosystems, and across the plant phylogeny. A major focus of the project
is variability itself. We aim to understand what leads some plant
populations to have high variability and others to have lower
variability in their interactions with herbivores.</p>
<p>The postdoc would analyze data, write papers, give presentations,
help set synthesis and analysis priorities, organize working groups,
participate in network activities, and assist with central network
coordination. The postdoc could focus on any one or more of our RCN
research objectives: (1) synthesizing ideas and existing data (including
our dataset with 750+ herbivory surveys), (2) developing a statistical
toolbox and theory for studying interaction variability, and (3)
coordinating globally distributed data collection.</p>
<p>Desirable qualifications include experience working collaboratively,
experience leading group science or synthesis, strong skills in
statistics and data science, and experience with the ecology and/or
evolution of plants and/or herbivores. The initial appointment is for
one year with potential for renewal for a total of 2-3 years. Remote
work is a possibility, although in-person network meetings will be
required 1-3 times per year.</p>
<p>Candidates should submit (preferably in one doc) (1) cover letter
describing research interests and career goals, including a description
of your interest or experience in fostering an inclusive environment,
(2) curriculum vitae, (3) names and contact information for three
references, and (4) two publications. Review of applications will begin
in September 2022 and continue until a suitable candidate is found.

and database management. This is an exciting opportunity to work with a
dynamic and growing research group. Duties will include managing and
tidying network data, receiving and integrating new data submissions
from collaborators, exporting data from our database for analyses,
assisting with data science and statistical analyses, helping to
coordinate working groups, disseminating network materials, facilitating
the team science we do, and responding to collaborator inquiries.</p>
<p>HerbVar is an NSF-funded Research Coordination Network (RCN) with
more than 200 members from 30+ counties. We have the goal of bringing
