The Rangeland Resources Research Unit, Cheyenne, WY seeks a Post
Doctoral Research Associate for a two year appointment. A recent Ph.D.
(within the last four years) is required.
The incumbent will quantify how climate change, especially variability
of precipitation and increasing temperatures, affect livestock
production in the Northern Great Plains. The incumbent will use existing
long-term climatic and livestock production sets to (1) determine
relationships between livestock gains and climatic variability across
multiple temporal scales, and (2) incorporate synthetic relationship
into decision support systems for livestock production. Knowledge of
livestock production, rangeland ecology and contemporary quantitative
statistics is required. Experience with modeling, large data sets, and
decision support systems is desirable. A Ph.D. in Rangeland Management,
