[ECOLOG-L] Bayesian Modeling Workshop Opportunity

[Lackett,Jill]

The National Science Foundation (award #: DEB-1145200) is sponsoring an annual, 
two-week workshop to provide intensive training in Bayesian modeling for 
post-doctoral researchers, academic faculty, and agency scientists. Applicants 
must have earned a PhD to be considered for the workshop, and applications will 
not be accepted from graduate students. Twenty participants will be invited 
each year. There will be no cost for participation in the workshop. A $1000 
stipend will be provided to each U.S. participant, and a $700 stipend will be 
provided to each international participant (due to taxes withheld), to defray 
costs of travel. The fourth workshop will be held May 18-27, 2016 at Colorado 
State University in Fort Collins, CO.
Goals of the Workshop
1. Provide a principles-based understanding of Bayesian methods needed to train 
students, to evaluate papers and proposals, and to solve research problems.
2. Communicate the statistical concepts and vocabulary needed to foster 
collaboration between ecologists and statisticians.
3. Provide the conceptual foundations and quantitative confidence needed for 
self-teaching modern analytical methods.
Instructors:
Tom Hobbs, Colorado State University
Mevin Hooten, Colorado State University
Kiona Ogle, Arizona State University
Maria Uriarte, Columbia University

[ECOLOG-L] Graduate Research Assistantship at Colorado State University - Ecology

[Lackett,Jill]

Graduate Research Assistantship. We have an opening for a graduate student 
seeking a Ph.D. in the Graduate Degree Program in Ecology at Colorado State 
University starting in December 2012 or May 2013. The successful applicant will 
study trophic and hydrologic controls on willow communities in Yellowstone 
National Park to reveal how the reintroduction of wolves has shaped ecosystem 
processes. The position is fully funded by an LTREB award from the National 
Science Foundation. An annual stipend, full tuition waiver, and housing during 
3-4 months of annual work in the field will be provided. Requirements include a 
master's degree in ecology or related field, strong quantitative skills, and 
the ability to communicate effectively orally and in writing. There will be an 
opportunity to do a preliminary interview at the Annual Meeting of the 
Ecological Society of America in Portland, Oregon (August 4-8, 2012) and at the 
Annual Meeting of the Wildlife Society, also in Portland (October 16-18, 2012). 
Contact Tom Hobbs (tom.ho...@colostate.edu) and David Cooper 
(david.coo...@colostate.edu) to express interest.
