About the program
CEM postdoctoral program
The CEM Postdoctoral Fellowship program aims to enable creative collaborative research in aquatic ecology that blends curiosity-inspired questions with use-driven research to meet the needs of local management agencies and user groups.
The Fellows will be an integral component of the Bernhardt Lab and the new CEM community. The Fellows will be expected to have an independent research program that aligns with the Bernhardt Lab.
This year’s application review will begin October 15, 2024 and continue until the positions are filled.

How to apply
join us as a postdoctoral fellow
For 2024, we welcome applications aligned with the following theme:
Adaptation in changing environments
Keywords: eco-evolutionary dynamics, adaptation to global change, blue foods
The global environment is changing at an unprecedented rate, altering conditions for all of life on Earth. Natural systems face an increasing number of environmental stressors, in many cases altering individual performance, population persistence and species interactions. We are seeking candidates whose research addresses eco-evolutionary dynamics, population persistence, ecological resilience and/or productivity in the face of environmental change and how biological adaptation determines processes and patterns at larger scales. Successful applicants will work in a highly collaborative environment around themes including (but not limited to): 1) eco-evolutionary dynamics in changing environments OR 2) effects of environmental change on ‘blue foods’ (foods from aquatic sources).
