Hello all, Please see below for a post-doctoral opportunity at the University of Idaho and the Columbia Intertribal Fisheries Commission (CRITFC). Please forward to any potentially interested candidates and please pardon any double listings. The position was advertised here several weeks ago; due to an administrative delay, the position has just been posted. Applications may be submitted at https://uidaho.peopleadmin.com/postings/15784.
Initial review of applications will begin 28 November and I welcome any inquiries prior to submission of an application. Best, Chris Caudill POSTDOCTORAL RESEARCH ASSOCIATE, FISH ECOLOGY RESEARCH LAB A post-doctoral position is available to investigate ESA-listed steelhead and Chinook salmon population biology in the Willamette River Basin. The position will be co-supervised by Chris Caudill at the University of Idaho (www.uidaho.edu/ferl<http://www.uidaho.edu/ferl>) and Shawn Narum at the Columbia River Intertribal Fisheries Commission Hagerman Genetics Laboratory (http://www.critfc.org/blog/staff/shawn-narum/). The successful candidate will contribute to two projects that will 1) use genetic pedigree analyses to determine the contributions of returning adult steelhead that originated from native winter steelhead, resident rainbow trout, non-native hatchery steelhead, and their hybrids; and 2) examine how life history variation contributes to population productivity. The second project will use existing scale, otolith and demographic data to develop population models for adult Chinook salmon to estimate relative fitness for life history pathways rearing primarily in stream, reservoir and mainstem/estuary habitats. The successful candidate may also contribute to other on-going efforts to determine causes of prespawn mortality in Chinook salmon and develop independent research. Anticipated two-year position, with the second year contingent on performance and availability of funding. The successful candidate will be based in Moscow, Idaho, with the possibility of rotations at the Hagerman Lab and working with ODFW collaborators in Corvallis, OR. Minimum qualifications include a Ph.D. in population genetics, population biology, fisheries, conservation biology, or closely related field. Review of applications will begin 1 October. Ideal start date is November 2016, although some flexibility is available. The University of Idaho is an equal opportunity/Affirmative Action/equal access employer. Christopher C.
