The Ecosystems, Societies and Knowledge (ESK) Research Group at Dartmouth College seeks a creative and energetic post-doctoral research associate to help design and monitor habitat manipulations on islands in the St Marys River, Upper Great Lakes, USA. This participatory research project is in collaboration with the Sault Ste Marie Tribe of Chippewa Indians. We are initiating an adaptive management process to improve waterfowl hunting and other subsistence values on small islands in a cultural landscape that has experienced dramatic environmental change. Uniquely, our objectives and hypotheses are based on input from Anishinaabe (American Indian) waterfowl hunters and other regional habitat management experts.
