Position length:  Up to 3 years; evaluated annually
Application deadline: Review of applications begins December 9, and will re=
main open until filled
Salary: $50,000 per year plus benefits
Research budget: up to $25,000 per year

Position summary:
The John G. Shedd Aquarium (http://www.sheddaquarium.org/) in Chicago, Illi=
nois is seeking candidates for a postdoctoral research associate to investi=
gate the current and future impacts of biotic (e.g. non-native competition)=
and abiotic (e.g. climate change) stressors to invertebrate communities in=
the Great Lakes region. This is a joint postdoctoral position with the Not=
re Dame Environmental Change Initiative (http://environmentalchange.nd.edu/=
). Research should lead to broad management implications for native species=
in general and crayfish in particular. The selected candidate, with guidan=
ce from both Shedd and Notre Dame supervisors, will be responsible for deve=
loping a robust research program of their own design. A program that involv=
es local stakeholders in research is preferred. Research is expected to be =
multifaceted, inform resource managers, and advance conservation and sustai=
nable management.

The postdoctoral associate will be co-supervised by Dr. Chuck Knapp at Shed=
d Aquarium and Dr. David Lodge (http://www3.nd.edu/~lodgelab/) at the Unive=
rsity of Notre Dame. This dual-mentoring team will help the candidate to fo=
cus their research on important and feasible questions that can guide real-=
world management.  Mentors will also facilitate other aspects of profession=
al development, including exposure to the unique cultures of both non-profi=
t and academic institutions. At Shedd, the associate is expected to communi=
cate to a general audience via blogs, informal reports, video, and seminars=
. The associate is expected to work closely with federal and state manageme=
nt agencies as well as other non-government organizations, as appropriate. =
Research that includes multiple Shedd departments (e.g., Fishes, Animal Hea=
lth) and/or a citizen science component is preferred.

Qualifications:
Applicants must hold a recent Ph.D. in biology, ecology, natural resource m=
anagement, zoology, or related field. The position requires strong skills i=
n scientific research, database management, and communication to both the g=
eneral public and researchers. Demonstrated excellence in publication and d=
issemination of research is expected, and experience with grant writing is =
desired. Applicants must have genuine interests in both applied research an=
d public education, enabling them to make the most of the distinctive oppor=
tunities provided by the non-profit and academic environments. When not con=
ducting field research, this position requires a minimum of 60% time spent =
at Shedd Aquarium, with the balance of time at Notre Dame's Environmental C=
hange Initiative.

To apply:
Please send a cover letter summarizing your interests and expertise, a one-=
page description of the research that you would like to pursue, a curriculu=
m vitae, and contact information for three references.  The research vision=
is very important; decisions will be based upon a combination of candidate=
qualifications and project relevance to Shedd priorities.  All materials s=
hould be combined in a single file, and sent to Sarah Dietz (jobs@sheddaqua=
rium.org<mailto:jobs@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx <jobs@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>>). To
discuss the specifics of this =
position contact Dr. Chuck Knapp
(cknapp@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx<mailto:cknapp@sh=<cknapp@sh=>
eddaquarium.org>) or Dr. David Lodge
(David.M.Lodge.1@xxxxxx<mailto:David.M=<David.M=>
