*RESEARCH PROFESSIONAL POSITION AVAILABLE, UNIVERSITY OF GEORGIA*
Prof. Gary Grossman and Dr. Jason Neuswanger are seeking a motivated individual with an MSc degree (please do not apply if you don’t have your degree) and experience in fish/aquatic ecology for a project developing and testing mechanistic, fitness-based microhabitat selection/foraging models for several central Alaskan salmonids. The position is available in early August 2015 and the applicant (U.S citizens or legal residents only) will be based at University of Georgia. Job responsibilities will be diverse and involve: general administrative responsibilities of the grant (budgets, progress reports, etc.), prey capture-success lab experiments, analysis of video-taped data of foraging success and microhabitat data, analysis of drift and stomach samples (requires experience with identification of aquatic invertebrates), data management, report writing and statistical analyses. A familiarity with R is essential, and some experience with mixed model and information theoretic analyses preferred. Working with graduate students and supervision of undergraduate workers are part of the job. Other responsibilities may be added as project needs change. The position is available for two years (although a probationary period is required and unsatisfactory performance is grounds for dismissal at any time). A collecting trip to Alaska may be possible. Send an updated CV to [email protected] (2 pp. maximum, GPA, GRE scores, pubs/presentations, but do not list papers “in prep” or presentations “to be given”) and email addresses of your thesis supervisor and two other supervisors/individuals who can write knowledgably about your professional performance. Initial salary is approximately $39,000 per annum. -- Gary D.
