POSTDOCTORAL SCHOLAR: Flow regimes and aquatic population modeling. The
Lytle lab (science.oregonstate.edu/lytlelab) at Oregon State University
seeks motivated, energetic candidates for a postdoctoral position
exploring how climate change will affect river flows and
aquatic/riparian organisms. The postdoc will help develop computer-based
models that link flow regime dynamics to population-level responses of
fish, aquatic invertebrates, and riparian vegetation; collect and
analyze field data; and write up publications in collaboration with the
PIs. The postdoc will have opportunities to work with collaborators at
University of Washington (Julian Olden) and USFS in Fort Collins (Dave
Merritt). Although based primarily at Oregon State University, we will
test models with data collected at aridland military bases in southern
California, Arizona, and Colorado. This project will complement other
lab projects, including life-history and behavioral evolution of aquatic
insects, community ecology, and management of dammed rivers, and so an
interest in cross-disciplinary collaboration is highly desirable.
Candidates should have a Ph.D. or equivalent in ecology or a related
discipline, and solid experience with quantitative methods implemented
in R, Mathematica, or other programming languages. Direct experience
with population-level modeling is a plus. Salary will be $42,000 to
$48,000 per year (depending on experience) plus benefits, renewable
annually for up to 3 years. Anticipated start date - around August 15,
2015 (negotiable). Apply by June 15th, 2015 for full consideration.
