Post-doc available in Fish, Wildlife, Cons Bio Dept., Colorado State University and Colorado Div. Of Wildlife , lynx data analysis
Post-doctoral Research Position Dept. of Fish, Wildlife, and Conservation Biology, Colorado State University, Fort Collins CO 80523-1474 and Mammals Research Program, Colorado Division of Wildlife, 317 West Prospect, Fort Collins, CO 80526 Position #: LYNX/05/31/2007 Position LYNX/05/31/2007. Post-doctoral research position available within the Department of Fish, Wildlife, and Conservation Biology, Colorado State University (CSU) to work closely with the Colorado Division of Wildlife (CDOW) and USGS to analyze lynx (Lynx canadensis) data. Lynx, an important apex predator, was extirpated from Colorado as a result of extensive predator control measures implemented prior to the 1970's. In an effort to establish a viable population of lynx in Colorado, the Colorado Division of Wildlife (CDOW) initiated a reintroduction effort in 1997 with lynx released in the state from 1999-2006. CDOW has documented survival, movement patterns, reproduction, and habitat-use through ground, aerial and satellite tracking. This has resulted in one of the most comprehensive data sets of a reintroduced carnivore. The post-doc will work most closely with Dr. Tanya Shenk at CDOW and Dr. Paul Doherty at CSU. In the course of estimating demographic rates, movement rates, and habitat use to address hypotheses of interest to CDOW, the post-doc will be encouraged to initiate their own additional analyses of these data in collaboration with CDOW and CSU researchers. The successful applicant will collaborate with CDOW and CSU researchers to organize findings into agency reports and manuscripts for publication in peer-reviewed journals; attend scientific meetings and deliver papers on results. The position is for 2 years contingent upon availability of funds. Minimum Requirements: Ph.D. in wildlife biology, conservation biology, ecology, natural resource management, statistics, applied mathematics, or related field. Quantitative skills in demographic parameter estimation and/or modeling, and/or habitat modeling, and/or spatial analyses. Skill in communicating scientific results to natural resource management agencies and in peer-reviewed literature. Strong work ethic. Desirable in one or more of the following criteria: Experience in carnivore ecology. Knowledgeable of demographic modeling, GIS, and spatial statistics software. Experience with large databases. Responsibilities: Responsibilities will include working on a lynx data analysis project focused on the needs of the Colorado Division of Wildlife, specifically: 1) Collaborate on estimation of relevant demographic parameters. 2) Collaborate on developing and implementing modeling methods to evaluate hypotheses concerning variation in parameters across geographic areas and time. 3) Collaborate on the preparation of manuscripts presenting research findings. 4) Collaborate on developing future study design recommendations. Salary: Commensurate with experience and qualifications: Range: $35,000 - $40,000 Application: Prospective candidates should mail material consisting of (1) a letter noting position number and responding to each of the qualifications; (2) curriculum vitae; (3) copy of transcripts (official copy not necessary) and confirmation of degree conferral; (4) examples of your work (i.e., journal articles); and (5) the names, addresses, phone numbers and email addresses of at least three individuals who have first-hand knowledge of your research experience and professional abilities to: Dr. Paul Doherty Department of Fish, Wildlife, and Conservation Biology Colorado State University Fort Collins, CO 80523-1474 USA Application materials must be received no later than 4:30pm, 05/31/2007 Colorado State University is committed to creating a university community which values and supports diversity; individuals who contribute to such diversity are strongly encouraged to apply.
