By joining HF&G, you will not only have the opportunity to work in a beautiful setting, but you will also have the opportunity to contribute to our fulfilling and groundbreaking work. Opportunity: The Research department seeks to fill an NSF-funded Postdoctoral Position available immediately at Holden Forests & Gardens. This position will study the physiological climate tolerance of Red Cedar ( Juniperus virginiana ) in relation to recent range expansion of the species. We are looking for a highly motivated PhD with experience in eco-physiological techniques such as gas exchange, water relations, plant hydraulics, and field-based sensor deployment. This position will offer opportunities to develop complementary research in plant physiology. Key responsibilities of the Plant Physiological Ecology postdoctoral position include: Conduct research on plant physiological ecology Mentor undergraduate students working on the project Participate in or lead public outreach activities Performs other duties as required by supervisor This is a collaborative project between faculty at Kent State University, Denison University, The Ohio University and Holden Forests & Gardens. The successful candidate will join the research team based at the Holden Arboretum campus (******************* located in NE Ohio (east of Cleveland), and work will be conducted in the labs at the Holden Arboretum and/or at field locations within the species range in the continental United States, depending on the candidate's particular research interests. The duration of the funding for this position is 1.5 years. This position is open to US citizens and permanent residents. Qualifications and Skills: PhD in biology, ecology, plant science or related discipline by the starting date This position is open to US citizens and permanent residents Pass a criminal background check Project Abstract: Project Abstract: Eastern Red Cedar (Juniperus virginiana) is native to the eastern United States, where this attractive tree has been a popular choice for landscaping. But out in the Great Plains, Red Cedar is known as the "green glacier", because this slow-growing species is taking over once-productive grasslands. Ranchers face substantial economic costs in removing Red Cedar from grazing lands, and it reduces grassland biodiversity through competition with native species. But how do you stop a "green glacier"? Populations might be expanding because environmental variability has altered frost and drought regimes, or because humans have implemented prairie management practices such as fire suppression, or even because of changes in the migration patterns of seed-dispersing birds. It is more likely, however, that many factors are at work. For example, environmental variability might allow plants to move into a new region, but seed dispersal by birds could promote population expansion within a region. Rather than focus on one factor, this study will determine the relative importance of several causal factors. Data from experiments will be used in a model that predicts the rate and locations where Red Cedar range expansion is likely to occur. Findings will be presented to the public at the Holden Arboretum Scientist Lecture Series and incorporated into Holden Arboretum's "Working with Nature" K-12 Camp and "Tree Corp" adult workforce development program. Uncovering scale-dependent mechanisms controlling range and niche expansion of plants is a key issue in biodiversity research. This work integrates physiological and ecological processes across scales to determine the potential for further range expansion. The central hypothesis is that, at a large spatial scale, changes in prairie management are more important than physiological climate tolerance for promoting range expansion, while at smaller scales, biotic factors such as avian dispersal, competition and facilitation are more important. The spatial scale of variation will be determined using microsatellites in historical, encroaching and niche expanding populations. The effects of fire will be examined using long-term data from the Konza Prairie NSF-LTER, while manipulative and field experiments will determine how the interaction of frost and drought impact Red Cedar performance. Seed dispersal by birds and changes in bird migration over time will be examined to determine how far, and where, birds disseminate Red Cedar. Empirical data will be integrated into a spatially explicit population-level age/stage matrix model, based on inputs from structural equation modeling at all three spatial scales, with spatial resolution determined by the results of microsatellite studies.

Title: Postdoctoral Research Associate Department Org: Environmental Sciences - 101250 Employee Classification: P1 - Post Doctoral Assoc FT-MC Bargaining Unit: Professional Staff Association Primary Location: MC AC Shift: 1 Start Time: End Time: Posted Salary: $65,000/year Job Description: The Department of Environmental Sciences, at the University of Toledo, OH seeks a postdoctoral research associate to study the methane cycling in coastal ecosystems under different flooding regime. A particular focus lies on separating microbial pathways that contribute to methane fluxes using stable isotopes of carbon and hydrogen. Furthermore, possibilities exist to participate in an ecosystem-scale freshwater flooding experiment as well as improve model representation of methane cycling. Experience and interest in using stable isotopes and/or measuring fluxes along the soil/water-plant-atmosphere continuum is welcome. The anticipated start date for the position is October 1, 2025. Hydrological intensification will lead to changes in inundation and drainage patterns within coastal ecosystems. In the Great Lakes region, lake levels vary on different timescales but are predicted to rise in the next decades. A new ecosystem-scale manipulation in a diked upland forest system in collaboration with the Ottawa National Wildlife Refuge will address ecological and biogeochemical responses to increased flood duration and depth. The successful candidate will have the opportunity to help develop and lead this experiment. Depending on interest, the incumbent will also have the opportunity to collect and/or synthesize data from established transects covering wetland, transitional and upland areas where data collection is on-going. This position is part of the DOE funded project - Coastal Observation, Mechanism, and Predictions Across Systems and Scales - Field Measurements and Experiments (COMPASS-FME). This large project is led by the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory in collaboration with multiple partners, including the Smithsonian Environmental Research Center (SERC) and Argonne National Lab. The COMPASS - FME project aims to understand the coupled interactions of plants, microbes, soils/sediments, and hydrology within coastal systems to inform multi- scale, integrated models from reaction scales to the coastal interface. The project's research emphasis is primarily on terrestrial and wetland processes that are influenced by coastal waters, such as the fluxes and transformations of carbon, nutrients, and redox elements through these systems. This project includes several national labs, and research institutions in the W. Basin of Lake Erie and Chesapeake Bay, affording the successful candidate the opportunity for exciting and diverse collaborations. There will be opportunities for close collaboration with project partners and scientists at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, Argonne National Laboratory, Oak Ridge National Laboratory, the Smithsonian Environmental Research Center and The University of Toledo. This postdoc will be based at U. Toledo and will develop sampling strategies and lead data collection and analysis aimed at understanding coastal ecosystem biogeochemical response to hydrological changes. The candidate will also be responsible for data curation in preparation of uploading to scientific databases and work with the COMPASS research team to assist with data review and archiving. Contact Dr. Inke Forbrich, ************************* with questions or for more information about this position. Minimum Qualifications: • PhD or equivalent Doctoral Degree in Environmental Sciences, Ecology, Biogeochemistry or a related discipline is required • A successful candidate will have the following: o Good written and verbal communication skills (in English) required o Experience working with stable isotopes o Experience working with laser-based gas analysis o Strong analytical skills (experience using R, MATLAB, or similar languages) o Ability to work cooperatively with a multidisciplinary research team o Ability to perform experiments with initiative and independence, under general direction from the Principal Investigator. o Sound knowledge of best practices in research for appropriate field. o Effective Decision-making and problem-solving skills required o Must be detail oriented, and highly organized with the ability to keep accurate records. o Ability to work closely with students, faculty and other staff to maintain research efficiency of the project. o Valid driver's license with a clean driving record Preferred Qualifications: Conditions of Employment: To promote the highest levels of health and well-being, the University of Toledo campuses are tobacco-free.

Join our team today as an Autonomy Researcher! Verification of autonomy is known to be a hard problem. Autonomous systems include complex decision-making mechanisms that are likely to be sensitive to changing mission conditions, resulting in a “state space explosion” of possible system behaviors that traditional test-based approaches cannot adequately cover. To address this problem, “formal methods” - i.e., mathematically-based tools and techniques for design, specification, and verification - can supplement testing by providing evidence of system correctness through proof and analysis. Formal methods, in conjunction with existing best practices for system and software development, can also be used to make autonomy software more robust and reliable by checking for general properties such as absence of runtime errors, memory leaks, access to undefined memory locations, etc. Using OpenUxAS, an autonomy framework developed by AFRL, one of our goals is to make it easier for our collaborators, e.g. academic or industrial partners who are using it as a platform to build or test autonomous or human-automation systems, to use OpenUxAS in their own work. However, our larger goal is to use OpenUxAS as a case study and demonstration of best practices for software development, documentation, and verification using formal methods alongside more traditional approaches. To date, we have been working to formalize requirements and verify individual services in UxAS (Aiello, et al. 2019), which we plan to continue. We are also working to restructure UxAS to better enable traditional approaches like unit testing. We are also working to develop better documentation for UxAS, including user guides and developer guides, and we are developing additional tutorial examples for UxAS and associated simulation framework OpenAMASE (AFRL/RQ 2020). We are also working with collaborators who are developing verified algorithms for OpenUxAS, e.g. path planning algorithms. Since OpenUxAS is implemented as a service-oriented architecture, we also plan to develop methods to compositionally verify that collections of services satisfy higher-level system properties. We are also interested in developing a multi-vehicle air collision avoidance algorithm using NASA DAIDALUS (NASA 2020) as a foundation, incorporating it into OpenUxAS, and demonstrating it in OpenAMASE.
