Seeking postdoctoral fellows to join an animal ecology and conservation biology lab group at the College of Forestry, Guangxi University (http://ecologyguangxiforestry.weebly.com/). We are particularly interested in recruiting team members for the following projects: (1) Bioacoustical monitoring of animals. We propose to use remote devices to monitor both animals and threats to animals, and are looking for researchers with interests in bioacoustics, signal detection and community ecology, and with experience with programming. (2) Conservation attitudes. We are interested in correlating conservation attitudes in Asia with the capacity of institutes of higher education and the activity levels of non-governmental organizations, and we seek researchers with a background in conservation education, and experience in processing economic data, as well as questionnaires. (3) The behavior and community ecology of mixed-species flocks of birds. This project, which is most closely associated with the PI, Eben Goodale’s, previous work, seeks to understand the social interactions between flock members and the implications of these for conservation. We seek talented, self-motivated and collaborative researchers; although all academic work will be in English, an openness to learning Chinese language and culture is appreciated. Postdoctoral fellows are for a period of two years, with extensions possible. Please send a cover letter discussing how your experience makes you a good candidate for this position, a CV, pdf copies of up to three publications, and addresses of three references to [email protected], with the subject “Postdoctoral Recruitment”.
