Postdoctoral Research Fellowship University of Western Sydney
The Hawkesbury Institute for the Environment at the University of Western Sydney conducts fundamental and applied research in a range of areas that include plant and animal biology, pant-animal and plant-soil interactions, soil microbial ecology, genomics and bioinformatics, ecosystem function and climate change biology.

The Hawkesbury Institute for the Environment (HIE) is seeking to appoint an energetic academic to a Level A position in the HIE. This full-time, Postdoctoral Research Fellowship is available for 2 years with the possibility of an extension thereafter, pending funding availability.
The successful applicant will focus on research related to a grant from the NSW Environmental Trust entitled “Psyllid-induced dieback of Grey Box (Eucalyptus moluccana) on the Cumberland Plain”. The grant addresses the important question of whether the extensive fragmentation and reduction of the Cumberland Plain Woodlands has resulted in a loss of genetic and chemical diversity of the dominating tree species, Eucalyptus moluccana. Discovering this genetic and chemical diversity is crucial to understanding their role in the chronic area-wide defoliation of Eucalyptus moluccana in the critically endangered Cumberland Plain Woodlands. The results will inform future conservation efforts and strategies.
Remuneration Package: Academic Level A (Step 3-4) $91,289 to $96,851 p.a (comprising Salary $77,140 to $81,840 p.a. plus 17% Superannuation and Leave Loading)
HOW TO APPLY: To apply for this position and to access the Position Description, please go to the UWS Website at http://careers.uws.edu.au/Current-Vacancies

tenure-track faculty position in theoretical/computational plasma physics
The Department of Physics and Astronomy at the University of California, Los Angeles invites applications for a tenured or tenure-track faculty position in theoretical/computational plasma physics, with an anticipated start date of July 1, 2014. Both junior-level and senior level candidates will be considered.
The UCLA Department of Physics and Astronomy has very active research programs in theoretical, computational, and experimental plasma physics which include particle-in-cell simulation, turbulence and transport in magnetized plasmas, laser-plasma interaction, plasma-based acceleration, magnetic reconnection, inertial and magnetic confinement fusion energy, high-energy density plasmas, and space plasmas. Outstanding candidates are sought with expertise in theory and simulation, and with the potential for exceptional research in frontier areas of plasma physics. The candidate is expected to develop a vibrant research program that complements existing programs, and to demonstrate teaching excellence at both undergraduate and graduate levels. The successful candidate should also have a clear commitment to enhancing the diversity of the faculty, graduate student population, and of the majors in physics and astronomy.
Candidates should submit a curriculum vita including a list of publications, a synopsis of educational goals, a statement of research interests, a list of at least five references via UCLA Academic Recruit, and arrange to have a minimum of three letters of recommendation sent to the same address.
The deadline is January 15, 2014; however the search will remain open until the position is filled. The Department has a strong commitment to the achievement of excellence and
diversity among its faculty and staff. The University of California is an Equal
Opportunity/Affirmative Action Employer.
