post-doc announcement (Quantitative/Statistical ecologist, Smithsonian Institute)

[Jeffrey Royle]

Dear all,

 I'm part of a team including Smithsonian Migratory Bird Center and National Park Service colleagues developing research utilizing the National Park Service's terrestrial vertebrate Inventory & Monitoring program data (Scott Sillett at the Smithsonian's Migratory Bird Center at the National Zoo is hosting the position). We are hiring a quantitative ecology post-doc to work on this effort. A component of the effort will involve statistical support (monitoring design and analysis). The position is well-funded potentially 3+ years. Link and short summary are given below.  If you know about unmarked and hierarchical models in ecology you would probably be well-suited for this position. Please circulate this to your colleagues and recent graduates.

 regards

andy
