Andy Read and Doug Nowacek of the Marine Conservation Ecology Group at
Duke University seek a postdoctoral researcher to conduct an analysis
of the response of short-finned pilot whales (Globicephala
macrorhynchus) to signals produced by a SIMRAD EK-60 scientific
echosounder system during a controlled field experiment. The analysis
will involve several response variables, including vocalization rate
and three-dimensional patterns of movement, obtained from Digital
Acoustic Tags (DTags). In addition, the analysis will examine
patterns of group cohesion using data collected during focal animal
follows. The successful candidate will conduct data analyses, prepare
reports and submit manuscripts to peer reviewed journals.
Quantitative analytical skills are required, including relevant
experience analyzing behavioral and acoustic data. We expect the
candidate to engage fully in the intellectual life of our laboratory
and take advantage of research, mentoring and teaching opportunities
as they arise. The Duke University Marine Laboratory located in
Beaufort, NC is a vibrant research and educational community located
on the North Carolina coast in Beaufort and is part of the Nicholas
School of the Environment. This is a one-year, full-time appointment
with an annual salary of $45,000, with the possibility of renewal. The
position carries standard health and benefits of employment from Duke
University. Prospective applicants should send a CV, statement of
interest and the names of three references to Jennifer Dunn ([email protected]
) by July 31st 2011.
