Postdoc: Ecological modeling, time series analysis and ecosystem management. We (Stephan Munch, Alec MacCall and Marc Mangel) are seeking a candidate to fill a postdoctoral position in ecological modeling and time series analysis in the Department of Applied Mathematics and Statistics at UC Santa Cruz in conjunction with NOAA Fisheries (http://swfsc.noaa.gov/fed.aspx).
The successful candidate will join an exciting team of ecologists and applied mathematicians who work collaboratively on cutting-edge problems in ecological and evolutionary modeling through the Center for Stock Assessment Research (http://www.soe.ucsc.edu/~msmangel/CSTAR.html). The successful candidate will work with us to develop non-parametric approaches to ecosystem-based management based on semi-parametric Bayesian methods for nonlinear time-series modeling. The ideal candidate should have experience with hierarchical Bayesian data analysis and spatio-temporal statistical modeling. Familiarity with stochastic dynamic programming is beneficial but not required. The candidate must have a PhD prior to beginning employment. The position is available immediately offers a competitive salary for postdoctoral fellows within the UC system. Please direct inquiries and applications (please include a CV with any initial application) to Steve Munch ([email protected]) no later than June 20, 2012.
