Postdoctoral Research Opportunity Salmon Ecologist Flathead Lake Biological Station of The University of Montana seeks a talented scholar to assist in the determination of salmon life history variation in relation to habitat dynamics in a suite of salmon rivers around the Pacific Rim.
We require experience in fish or floodplain ecology with emphasis on life history energetics in relation to environmental variation, especially ground-surfacewater interactions. Process modeling experience is preferred, but not specifically required, with the understanding that the work will be strongly interactive with a large river ecosystem modeling effort focused on influences of salmon harvest and climate change using an array of remote-sensing tools. Supervision of field crews in Kamchatka (Russian Federation), Alaska and British Columbia will be required, including long periods in remote field camps. The successful candidate will work with an interdisciplinary team of research scientists including Drs. Jack Stanford, Richard Hauer, John Kimball, Megan McPhee, Bonnie Ellis, Mark Lorang and others at the Flathead Lake Biological Station. Full-time employment is with The University of Montana on a 12-month letter of appointment including competitive salary, medical/dental and retirement benefits. Contracts are renewed annually and may continue depending on funding availability and job performance. We currently have funding in hand for two years. LOCATION: The University of Montana's premier Flathead Lake Biological Station (www.umt.edu/flbs) near Polson, Montana SALARY: Salary will be in the $42,000 per year range depending upon expertise and experience BENEFITS: Medical Insurance Package, Mandatory Retirement, Wellness Program, Sick and Annual Leave To be considered for the position, we require a letter of application (< 2 pages) that must include: 1) a description of qualifications for and interest in the position, 2) a statement of personal research goals and direction, 3) a statement that applicant is eligible to work in the United States legally, and 4) full contact information (phones, email, and mailing address). We also require a detailed, accurate vita specifically including the job title and contact information for applicant's current employer/supervisor and contact information for two additional professional references. Review of applications will begin immediately and will remain open until the position is filled. Please electronically mail required application materials to: Prof. Jack A.
