Colleagues and friends,
We are working to spread the word about a position currently open at the University of Idaho for a Biometrician/Forest Ecosystem modeler. We are casting a wide net within the field of forest ecology (e.g. forest hydrology, fire ecology, forest mensuration, remote sensing of forest structure, etc..). We are hoping to attract folks with strong quantitative skills and would very much appreciate you passing the announcement on to potentially interested students, post-docs and others. Thanks much for your help in passing the ad along (and apologies for any cross-postings). Cheers, Lee Vierling and Katy Kavanagh Assistant Professor of Biometrics and Quantitative Modeling of Forest Ecosystems. The Department of Forest Resources at the University of Idaho seeks applicants for a tenure-track, academic-year Assistant Professor with expertise in biometrics and quantitative modeling of forest ecosystems. Applicants should have Ph.D. with emphasis on biometrics and quantitative modeling of ecosystems with at least one degree in forestry or a related discipline, experience applying biometrics and modeling skills to forest ecosystems, ability to secure external funding, demonstrated research publication in refereed journals, and evidence of teaching ability and interest. Responsibilities will include developing a research program that advances biometric knowledge as applied to forests resources and uses quantitative modeling tools to understand complex terrestrial ecosystems. The successful applicant will also design and deliver undergraduate courses focused on forest measurements and inventory plus a graduate course. Review of applications will begin September 8, 2006 and will continue until a successful candidate has been identified, with a prospective starting date of January 2007 or soon thereafter.
