POSTDOCTORAL ASSOCIATE - Mid-continent Mallard Movement Ecology:
We are seeking a Postdoctoral Associate to conduct analyses of movements and resource use in mid-continent mallards. The postdoc will synthesize movement information from satellite-tracked ducks with resource information to help identify key habitat features selected by the birds throughout the annual cycle. Current funding is anticipated for one year but extensions may be possible to explore additional movement models. The successful postdoctoral fellow will be employed in the Fisheries and Wildlife Sciences Department at the University of Missouri. Annual salary is $45,000 and full benefits are included. Applicants need to have completed a Ph.D., and possess a broad range of interests and associated skills. Research will require substantial familiarity with geographic information systems, databases, and statistical tools, and candidates should have a strong interest in studying movement ecology and resource use. The successful candidate must be able to communicate effectively in English, in public, and with a range of cooperators from private and public institutions. Applicants should email a brief letter of interest, CV, and the names and contact information for three references to Drs. Lisa Webb and Dylan Kesler at webbli AT missouri DOT edu and keslerd AT missouri DOT edu.
