DEPARTMENT OF ORGANISMIC AND EVOLUTIONARY BIOLOGY HARVARD UNIVERSITY

Postdoctoral Fellow in Niche Modeling of Brazilian Biodiversity Faculty of Arts and Sciences Organismic and Evolutionary Biology We are seeking a 2-year postdoctoral fellow to undertake a study of niche evolution and endemism in Cerrado habitats of Brazil. The fellowship is supported by a grant from the Lemann Brazil Research Fund at Harvard University. The project is entitled “Prioritizing biodiversity of birds and butterflies in Cerrado habitats of Brazil using geographic and phylogenetic information systems”. The main goal is to generate several hundred niche models of birds and butterflies in Cerrado and to combine these with previously published phylogenetic analyses to develop a prioritization scheme for Cerrado biodiversity. The focus will be on prioritiziation of species and lineages, as well as identification of geographic subregions within the Cerrado exhibiting high levels of endemism and phylogenetic distinctiveness. The postdoctoral fellow will be based both at Harvard and at the University of São Paulo, Brazil. At Harvard the fellow will be in the Department of Organismic and Evolutionary Biology (OEB) and the Museum of Comparative Zoology (MCZ). At the University of São Paulo the fellow will be in the Instituto de Biociências, Departamento de Genética e Biologia Evolutiva. Funds for travel between the US and Brazil are included for the postdoc, the PIs and other participants on the grant. Time spent in either location is negotiable and flexible. Our hope is that the postdoctoral fellow will facilitate collaboration between the Harvard team (Drs. Scott Edwards and Naomi Pierce) and the USP team (Dr. Cristina Miyaki). A successful applicant would have: •

Ph.D. in ecology, evolutionary biology, biodiversity informatics, or related fields by spring 2017
