The position reports to Shannon LaDeau at the Cary Institute of Ecosystem Studies and involves collaboration with fisheries scientists in the Pacific northwest. Strong quantitative and statistical modeling skills required. Prior experience with modeling infectious transmission, MCMC techniques and ArcGIS is desirable.
NSF supported salary is available for one year, with a second year dependent on satisfactory progress.Please send a CV, contact information (including e- mail addresses)for 3 references, and a letter of interest clearly articulating how this builds on previous research experience, specific quantitative skills, and available start date to: Human Resources Cary Institute of Ecosystem Studies Job Ref. # 13014-I P.O.
