[mato...@gmail.com]

Hi all, 

I have the following job opening on my team: 

The Population Sustainability team at the San Diego Zoo Wildlife Alliance is seeking a highly accomplished Quantitative Ecologist or Ecological Statistician who brings at least five years of post-doctoral or equivalent professional experience and a strong commitment to applied conservation science. This is a full-time Scientist position that will support our local and global conservation programs. The ideal candidate has a strong background in occupancy and capture–recapture modeling, a solid foundation in general statistical methods, and demonstrated proficiency implementing Bayesian analyses using JAGS, NIMBLE, and/or Stan. Experience with the analysis of movement data (e.g. Hidden Markov Models, Resource Selection Functions) along with spatial or GIS based modeling are highly desirable. They will be comfortable implementing and interpreting statistical models, working with large, complex ecological datasets, and collaborating closely with field biologists and conservation practitioners on study design, data analysis, and publications. This role requires someone who can translate rigorous quantitative analyses into clear, actionable insights that inform wildlife management and conservation decision making and who and can communicate effectively with both scientific and non-technical audiences in a mission driven, interdisciplinary environment.

This is a full-time, permanent position. Applications are open now at this link:
