Dear colleagues,

Please help us spread the word - We are recruiting a qualitative social science post-doc who will be working on the human dimensions of white-tailed deer management with a focus on Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD). This position is part of a large collaboration among a few universities, USGS Coop Units, state wildlife agencies, and others working with hunters and landowners who are involved in deer and CWD management. 

Here is the full job posting with details on responsibilities, qualifications, and application instructions: https://www.schooljobs.com/careers/ummissoula/jobs/5222365/postdoctoral-research-associate-mtcwru?pagetype=jobOpportunitiesJobs

Although this position will be funded through the University of Montana, it will be based out of West Lafayette, Indiana at Purdue University working out of my Human Dimensions Lab (https://www.purdue.edu/fnr/sites/ma/). This is NOT a remote position. 

Please feel free to share this opportunity with colleagues, students, or others who may be a good fit.  Please don’t hesitate to reach out if you have questions or would like to discuss the position further. 

Thank you!

Zhao
