About the role

Michigan State University seeks a 1.5‑year Postdoctoral Researcher to conduct data‑intensive lake and stream ecology research in partnership with communities. The role involves analyzing MiCorps data, applying LAGOS-US tools, and translating results into actionable resources for watershed stakeholders. The candidate will co‑develop questions, harmonize datasets, and publish code and data, with opportunities to supervise undergraduates.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
