The Ecological Analysis Group at the USGS Research Center in Lafayette Louisiana is looking for an individual to manage data and perform preliminary analyses as part of a team studing a variety of ecological systems. We are currently conducting studies on a wide range of topics including: global change, invasive species, biodiversity, monitoring in National Parks, fire ecology, wildlife populations, and many others. In all these studies, we are working with teams of collaborators and sifting through data sets huge and small to disentangle the complex sets of processes influencing natural ecological systems. To further our program, we are seeking an individual with some experience with data analysis to work as part of a team - managing and understand the data, performing select analyses, helping to interpret the findings, and learning new techniques. Lots of opportunities for individual development in conjunction with this position.

Location: The work will be conducted at the USGS laboratory in Lafayette Louisiana. Lots of cultural and recreational amenities here in the heart of Cajun country.

Availability: From now until position is filled. Position is expected to be available indefinitely. Inquires about the work and position can be obtained from Jim Grace at [email protected].
