Post-doc position
Quantitative Landscape Ecologist
A post-doctoral position is available to address the question of how tax
incentive and easement policies can affect biodiversity at national and
regional scales. The position will involve developing and applying
models to evaluate the potential effects of landscape pattern on a group
of vertebrate indicator species. The chosen candidate will work closely
with ecologists at the University of Washington as well as economists
and ecologists at the University of Minnesota, the University of
Wisconsin, the U.S. EPA, and The Nature Conservancy. The ideal
candidate will have a background in landscape ecology, experience with
large data sets, ArcGIS, script writing in Python, programming in R, and
experience with MATLAB. They will have excellent communications skills
and a strong interest in working with an interdisciplinary research
team. Candidates should have a PhD in ecology, geography, or a related
field. The position is full time and is available October 1st for a
period of one year with renewal for another year depending on funding.
Applications will be accepted until the position is filled, but
preference will be given to those received before August 21st.
