Post-Doctoral Research Associate: A novel statistical method to identify
predator non-consumptive effects directly from field data

Employer:

Michigan State University

Brief Description:

Department of Fisheries and Wildlife, Michigan State University seeks a
research associate for a quantitative project using and developing novel
state-space models to examine the influence of an invasive predator
(Bythotrephes), global climate change and other factors on zooplankton prey in
the Great Lakes.  One focus is to use this method to identify and quantify
non-consumptive effects (NCEs – i.e., due to adaptive anti-predator behavior)
of the predator on the natural abundance and dynamics of animals in the field.
This is important and novel, as whereas there is much experimental evidence
that NCEs influence communities, there is little direct evidence from field
data.

The incumbent will apply novel state-space model approaches (e.g. iterated
filtering) to time series data and compare their utility to other approaches.
Resulting parameters may be used together with individually based models to
examine potential indirect effects and interactive effects of invasive species
to fish recruitment.   The postdoc will interact across academic and federal
institutions, and work as part of a team, as the project involves collaboration
between statisticians (Ed Ionides of the Univ. of Michigan, James Bence of
Michigan State Univ.), ecologists (Scott Peacor of MSU and John Marino of
Bradley Univ.) and Great Lakes food web scientists (David Bunnell of the USGS
and Hank Vanderploeg of the NOAA).

Qualifications:
PhD in statistics, ecology, fisheries science or related discipline with a
strong record of research productivity in quantitative methods is required.
Preference will be given to candidates with strong programming skills, and
strong mathematical background.

Salary:
$47,500 per year plus benefits. Initial appointment is for 1 year with
possibility of extensions for subsequent years on an annual basis.

Closing date: Until filled

Contact:
All applicants must apply via www.jobs.msu.edu<http://www.jobs.msu.edu/>search
posting #527335.
Please submit your CV, letter of interest, and transcripts (unofficial).
Inquiries about the posting can be directed to Dr. Scott Peacor
(peacor@xxxxxxx<mailto:peacor@xxxxxxx>).  Please include CV with inquiries.

Assistant Professor and Director, Restoration of Natural Systems Programs

Employer:

University of Victoria

Brief Description:

The interdisciplinary field of ecological restoration investigates the causes,
consequence and remedies for ecosystem degradation. A joint project of the
School of Environmental Studies and the Division of Continuing Studies, the
Restoration of Natural Systems (RNS) program at UVic, since 1996, is a
comprehensive training initiative for restoration practitioners in North
America. The program has evolved to include significant distance education as
well as hands-on field-based learning, and has expanded to include Diploma,
Certificate, and Professional Specialization Certificate opportunities.
Ecological restoration

is also now integrated into the undergraduate and graduate programs in the
School of Environmental Studies. We seek a restoration ecologist who would like
to combine their passion for research and training to continue and enhance the
delivery of the RNS program. The School of Environmental Studies,
http://web.uvic.ca/enweb/, is supported by three overlapping streams of ;
scholarship: political ecology, ethnoecology, and ecological restoration. We
are a relatively small group and depend on close cooperation, mutual respect,
and camaraderie for our flourishing.

The workload for the position is divided between Program Leadership and
Administration (40%), Research (30%), and Teaching (30%), although we
anticipate that initially a larger percentage may be spent on Program
Leadership. The successful applicant will be a tenure-track appointment at the
rank of Assistant Professor. The anticipated start date for this position is
May 1, 2019.
