Fwd: Postdoc opportunity - mark-recapture and spatial analyses

[Jeffrey Royle]

 Dear all,

 here is a very nice looking post-doc opportunity that was sent my way. Please check it out and forward to your colleagues!

regards

andy

-----------------------
The Joint Institute for Marine and Atmospheric Research (JIMAR) is seeking a Postdoctoral Fellow to estimate demographic parameters of odontocetes around the main Hawaiian Islands using mark-recapture methods and to assess species-specific biases in survey effort using available satellite tag data.  The Postdoc will join the Franklin Lab at the Hawaii Institute of Marine Biology (HIMB), University of Hawaii (UH), although the project is a collaborative effort with investigators from UH HIMB, NOAA Pacific Islands Fisheries Science Center (PIFSC), and Cascadia Research Collective.

The position is full-time for one year and is extendable upon mutual agreement and availability of funds.  Given that the Postdoc will be housed primarily at the NOAA PIFSC facility, we are only able to consider applicants who are US Citizens or Permanent Resident Aliens.  Please see the following link for more information about the opportunity, including instructions on how to apply: <http://workatuh.hawaii.edu/Jobs/NAdvert/23301/3895494/1/postdate/desc>.

Please direct any inquiries to me <amanda....@noaa.gov> or Dr. Erik Franklin <erik.f...@hawaii.ed>.
