***OUTREACH NOTICE***
Post-doctoral Position in Population Ecology and Adaptive Harvest Management
Agricultural Ecology Lab
Mississippi State University
Starkville, MS 39759
PLEASE NOTE: Funding for this position is not available until July 1st,
2013. The intention of this outreach notice is to notify potential
applicants of the forthcoming position. Interested individuals should
correspond with the Principle Investigator before June 15th.
POSITION DESCRIPTION: This is an 18-month position (with possibility of
extension) with the Department of Wildlife, Fisheries, and Aquaculture. We
are seeking a highly motivated individual with expertise in population
modeling. The species of interest is Northern Bobwhite, but no previous
experience with game birds is necessary. Responsibilities include, but are
not limited to: (1) develop simulation models to predict Northern Bobwhite
demographic response to harvest; (2) design experiments to test models; (3)
develop the framework for adaptive harvest management; (4) liaise with state
agencies and other collaborators; and (5) be a cordial part of a larger
research lab including assisting graduate students with projects.
QUALIFICATIONS: Candidate should be highly motivated, have the ability to
think critically and independently, and have previous experience with a
wide-array of population models. Computer programming experience is
necessary (e.g., R, Python, Matlab). Experience with structured decision
making and/or adaptive resource/harvest management is a plus. ABD candidates
will be considered.
