The South Central Climate Adaptation Science Center (CASC) at Texas Tech University (TTU) seeks to hire a postdoc to join an interdisciplinary team focused on addressing research quantifying plant traits and ecosystem processes across environmental gradients in the South Central United States is available in the EcoHealth Lab at TTU.

The project will use a plant functional trait-based approach—employing observational data collection, field experiments, and modeling— to quantify and predict variability in terrestrial ecosystem processes across broad precipitation gradients in Texas, with a focus on ecosystem services that humans rely on. Previous studies have shown how trait variation influences key ecosystem processes, including fire dynamics, ecosystem function, and woody encroachment.

Review of applications will begin December 1, 2026

Qualifications include:

• Ph.D. in plant ecology, ecosystem ecology, global change biology, fire ecology, ecological modeling, or related fields
• Experience carrying out observational field studies in plant and ecosystem ecology is highly desirable. Strong quantitative skills are also highly desired.
