About this position
Tarleton State University is seeking a Postdoctoral Research Associate in the Department of Biological Sciences at its main campus in Stephenville, Texas. The post sits within a doctoral national comprehensive university and a research environment that emphasizes teaching, research, service, and collaboration across Tarleton’s Texas campuses.
The role is centered on research in quantitative ecology, meta-analysis, and statistics, with particular attention to the adaptation of native plants to global change drivers, especially invasive species. The postdoctoral scholar will contribute to large-scale data synthesis projects and collaborate on field research. The advertised hosting laboratory focuses on the evolutionary and functional ecology of plants from both basic and applied perspectives, and the work is intended to improve understanding of contemporary plant adaptation under environmental change.
The position involves research delivery, proposal support, conference presentation, and collaboration with the supervising team and wider plant ecology and evolution community in the US and abroad. It is a full-time, in-person, non-faculty research staff appointment based in Stephenville, and the appointment may be renewed subject to performance and continued funding.
