The Department of Fisheries Wildlife and Conservation Biology at the University of Minnesota Twin Cities seeks a postdoctoral associate to begin 2014.
This individual will pursue a selection of exciting research avenues related to the foundation and application of degree-days in fish science and/or life history theory and sustainable exploitation. The goal of the degree-day research is to increase the (appropriate) use of degree-days in fish science. The goal of the life history research is to use an existing framework (http://www.esajournals.org/doi/pdf/10.1890/12-2020.1) to develop a tool for predicting sustainable yield and mortality from growth, temperature, and harvest. Opportunities also exist to publish on related topics (e.g., biphasic growth modeling and theory). This individual will be based in Paul Venturelli’s lab in the Department of Fisheries, Wildlife and Conservation Biology. Start date is negotiable but ideally would be in the first quarter of 2014. The review of applications begins 20 December.
