The Institute of Ecological Monitoring and
Management (http://iemm.sdsu.edu) has funding for
three postdoctoral research scientists in applied
conservation science and management. Each
position has funding for two years, with
potential for renewal. The research scientists
will join a team of faculty in the Department of
Biology at San Diego State University in an
ongoing project to develop and implement
multi-species monitoring and management programs.
In collaboration with local agency scientists,
land managers and government officials, the research scientists will
· Design single species and
ecosystem-level conceptual models, monitoring programs, and management plans
· Develop monitoring and data analysis
protocols to support management actions
· Author peer-reviewed literature on
emerging topics in applied conservation science
· Facilitate workshops and multi-stakeholder meetings
· Train agency staff in field and analytical methods
· Support grant-writing efforts to
implement monitoring and management needs
Candidates must have
· A PhD in ecology, conservation, or related field
· Experience in applied conservation science and management
· Excellent written and oral communication skills
· Grant writing experience
To build a research team, we will select
candidates with complementary skill sets. These
include: a strong background in statistical and
other quantitative analyses, scientific writing,
database management, GIS and related
computational skills, conservation policy, and
field sampling methods. Applicants must be able
to synthesize and critically evaluate existing
information from multiple sources including
expert opinion, agency documents, technical
reports and peer-reviewed literature. We
particularly encourage applicants with experience
in multi-species and ecosystem conservation efforts.
Review of applications to commence on Jan 10 and
will continue until positions are filled. Please
