Two Postdoctoral Researchers Fish Population and Community Modelers
Location: Louisiana State University, Baton Rouge, LA Responsibilities: Postdoctoral researcher(s) will work collaboratively on aspects of multiple funded projects thatinvolve individual-based population modeling and fisheries stock assessment modeling. Modeling can include: spatially-explicit, individual-based model of red snapper movement, sensitivity of the population dynamics assessment models to changes in vital rates, and individual-based and matrix modeling of population-level effects of hypoxia. The specifics will depend on whether one or two researchers are selected, the needs of the projects, and the interests of the selected applicants. Opportunity to work with a variety of people, including providing guidance to ongoing companion lab and field data collection related to each project. Postdoc will take the lead in all aspects of model development, testing, and application. This is an excellent opportunity to work with a variety of models over a broad spectrum of temporal and spatial scales, and to use the models in both theoretical and management analyses. Postdoc will be expected to make presentations and to publish methods-oriented and results-oriented papers in the open literature. Qualifications: Ph.D. in Fisheries, Ecology or related field, and some experience with quantitative analyses and programming in FORTRAN, C, R or a related language. Salary: $40,000 to $45,000 plus benefits. Appointment is initially for two years, with the possibility of a third year. Closing Date: until filled. Starting Date: preferably sometime during the summer of 2008.
