Post Doctoral Position in Stream Ecology and Ecosystem Modeling Flathead Lake Biological Station of The University of Montana is recruiting a post doc to assist with research encompassed by the Salmonid Rivers Observatory Network (SaRON, see www.umt.edu/flbs/Research/ SaRON.htm). We are conducting studies on salmon life histories, processes influencing fate and transport of marine-derived nutrients and hydro-ecological simulation modeling with airborne and satellite optical/IR remote sensing to explore water, heat and materials flux along regional flood plains and river corridors at the observatory sites around the Pacific Rim. We will consider demonstrable expertise in all aspects of river ecology, but we prefer ability in development and use of simulation models, such as salmon population models or biophysical models describing nutrient flux or transformation in aquatic systems. Computer programming and fluency in the Russian language are preferred skills. Ability to work effectively in an interdisciplinary setting is essential. Candidates must have a Ph.D. in-hand and all or most publications planned from the Ph.D. work in press or submitted to juried journals. The job requires travel to and extended stays in remote field camps in Kamchatka, Alaska and British Columbia. This position is available immediately for one year with continuation dependent on job performance and available funding.
