There is still time to apply for this position! If you have some spatial modelling skills and interest in wildfire, please consider applying.
📣We're recruiting! 📣 Katie Suding and I are looking for a postdoc interested in modelling grassland fire and fuels to contribute to an ongoing project on evaluating how grassland management and variation in fuels can impact wildfire risk around Boulder, CO. See the link below for more information.

Metabolomic and morphological trait diversity display contrasting patterns in temperate forest tree communities
Studies of community assembly often explore the role of niche selection in limiting the diversity of functional traits (underdispersion) or increasing the diversity of functional traits (overdispersi....
