POST DOCTORAL RESEARCH ASSOCIATE
Global Change Biology
Location: Department of Forest Ecosystems and Society, Oregon State University, Corvallis, OR
Application Closing Date: For full consideration apply by March 1, 2010
Position Summary: The Department of Forest Ecosystems and Society is recruiting for a full time (1.0 FTE), 12-month, fixed-term Research Associate Post Doc position.
The focus of this study is to develop species distribution models for terrestrial birds at regional and continental scales in North America. Co-supervised by an interdisciplinary team of computer scientists,
spatial and behavioral ecologists, the incumbent will utilize computer-based and mathematical modeling to examine interacting effects of land-use and climate change on patterns and rates of change in species distribution.
The work is funded by National Science Foundation’s Cyber-enabled discovery and innovation (CDI) program and will be conducted in conjunction with projects at OSU involving the Smithsonian Migratory Bird Center,
Cornell Lab of Ornithology, the Andrews Experimental Forest and Long Term Ecological Research (LTER) site, Hubbard Brook Experimental Forest and LTER, and the US Forest Service Laboratory for Applications in Remote Sensing and Ecology.
Required Qualifications: (1) A Ph.D. in ecology or a related discipline (2) A strong publication record, particularly in the field of animal ecology and climate change (3) Strong quantitative skills (4) A working knowledge of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and remote sensing applications (5) Excellent oral and written communication skills.
Employment conditions: Full-time (1.0 FTE) 12-month, fixed term position.
To Apply: When applying, upload 1) letter of application with statement of interest;
2) curriculum vitae (resume); 3) three examples of your publications; and 4) contact information for 3 references including names, email addresses, and telephone numbers.
