Hello, I am looking for a quantitative ecologist or statistician to help perform analyses on some very large databases of output from a predictive habitat edge model. A background in spatial ecology or fragmentation research is ideal, but not required. I have funds for approximately two to three full-time months, but that money could be stretched over a longer period through a part-time position (at least 10 hrs/wk).
The project is fairly self-contained because the data are already generated and collected in a series of databases. We have some specific hypotheses wed like to test with the output, but other explorations are possible. Proficiency manipulating large data sets and working in the R environment is a must. My situation is that I have extra money, a project deadline that must be met and too much work to finish by myself. I hope that I can find someone who would be benefited by picking up some extra cash or needs to fill a short-term gap in their funding. The successful applicant will need to travel to Maryland only once or twice, but can carry out the bulk of the work from any location. If interested, please send an email and CV to lr...@umd.edu describing your background and current work situation.
