Postdoctoral position at the Texas Research Institute for Aquatic and Groundwater Ecology (TRIAGE)

The Schwalb Stream Ecology Lab at Texas State University in San Marcos is looking to fill a post-doctoral researcher position who will join a large, multi-disciplinary, and highly collaborative group of researchers working on a large-scale project of the Texas Research Institute for Aquatic and Groundwater Ecology (TRIAGE): “Riverine communities and ecosystem responses to a changing world” funded by the US Army Corps of Engineers, Engineer Research and Development Center.

The anticipated start date is June 1, 2024.

We are seeking a highly motivated applicant with excellent problem-solving, collaboration, and communication (written and oral) skills. A Ph.D. in Biology, Environmental Science, or a related science field is required at the time of employment. A record of publication in peer-reviewed literature is preferred. Preferred skills include statistical analyses using R, research experience with native or invasive freshwater mussels or macroinvertebrates, sampling in rivers or lakes, and GIS applications (e.g., Arc, QGIS).

The postdoctoral researcher will be involved in various research projects as part of a large and multi-disciplinary group of PIs, other post-docs, students, and technicians, and will mentor and work closely with students at all levels. Field work may require working at remote locations and the ability to operate small watercrafts (e.g., kayaks).
