We are excited to offer a postdoctoral opportunity in East African savanna ecology and evolution. The position is supported by a multi-institution NSF grant that aims to better understand the feedbacks and linkages between ecology and evolution through an integrated study of savanna trees in the Acacia clade (Vachellia and Senegalia). The postdoc will split time between WFU and NM-AIST in Arusha, Tanzania and will lead a field study of Acacia trait responses to ecological factors and how theseAugust 2021:
We are very excited to launch a new collaboration with SynthetAIc (https://www.synthetaic.com) - a company that designs innovative solutions for complex environmental problems using artificial intelligence. Together we will develop a pipeline for rapidly classifying animal imagery that is collected as part of Snapshot Serengeti, the largest and longest running camera trapping project in Africa. Stay tuned for exciting results!August 2021:
Congratulation to our team, which includes James Pease (WFU), Stephen Smith (U Mich) and Ellen Weinheimer, on a Bridging Ecology and Evolution grant proposal that was successfully funded by NSF. The grant will explore the ecological and evolutionary relationships in the Acacia clade and how they have thrived despite the ecological burden of the savanna syndrome. The kickoff is September 1st!August 2020:
