ost Doctoral Fish Population and Community Modeler Location: San Francisco State University, Romberg Tiburon Center for Environmental Studies
Responsibilities: Will work collaboratively on a funded project to develop spatially-explicit,individual-based models of the threatened population of delta smelt, Hypomesus transpacificus, in the San Francisco Estuary. This is part of a larger modeling project with cooperating investigators from the Romberg Tiburon Center, Louisiana State University, Stanford University, and the Bodega Marine Laboratory, and interacting with csientists from state and federal agencies investigating declines in the delta smelt population. Additional elements of the larger project include particle-tracking models to investigate movement, and matrix models to investigate consequences of various mortality and growth scenarios. Postdoc will take the lead in all aspects of model development, testing, and use of the models in both theoretical and management analyses. Postdoc will be housed at the Romberg Tiburon Center and will be jointly advised by Dr. Wim Kimmerer (RTC) and Dr. Kenneth A. Rose (LSU). Postdoc will be expected to make presentations and to publish methods and results-oriented papers in the open literature. Qualifications: Ph.D. in Fisheries, Ecology or related field, and some experience with quantitative analyses and programming in FORTRAN, C, or a related language. Salary: $45,000 per year plus benefits, over a 2-year period. Closing Date: until filled. Starting Date: preferred starting date would be June to September 2006. Contact: Dr. Wim Kimmerer ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) for additional information; to apply send resume, cover letter, and the names and contact information for three references. Electronic applications preferred: please send materials as attachments to an email, each with your name and the type of document, and put Modeling Postdoc in the subject line. San Francisco State University is an EEO/AA employer.
