POSITION DESCRIPTION The Resilience Institute Bridging Biological Training and Research (RIBBiTR) is seeking applications for a Postdoctoral Researcher with joint responsibilities for (a) conducting research on factors facilitating the resilience of amphibians in the face of emerging infectious diseases and other global stressors, and (b) developing and managing databases and workflows for the collection, sharing, and archiving of ecological data collected by the institute.
RIBBiTR is a Biology Integration Institute, funded by the National Science Foundation to conduct research and training that integrates across sub-disciplines in the biological sciences to better understand how living systems achieve resilience to emerging infectious diseases and other global change stressors.

First, the postdoc will contribute to multi-university teams focused on the analysis of ecological data collected from four field sites in California, Pennsylvania, Panama, and Brazil.

Second, the postdoc will be responsible for maintaining, updating, and expanding the institute's relational database that houses the data needed for this research, as well as assisting researchers in accessing and using these data.
The postdoc will have the opportunity to work with institute members in developing and implementing open science workflows.
