Postdoctoral Scientist: Fish Ecologist/Ecological Modeler NOAA - Great Lakes Environmental Research Laboratory Ann Arbor, Mich. USA

Closing Date: March 20, 2007

Description

Work with an interdisciplinary team of scientists (physical oceanographers, ecologists, modelers) to develop and test various models (food web, spatially-explicit growth rate potential bioenergetics) to understand the response of pelagic fishes and food webs to hypoxia and physical structure in Lake Erie and the Chesapeake Bay. The incumbent will be expected to work with extensive fisheries acoustics data, write manuscripts, make presentations at national conferences and potentially participate in research cruises. The individual filling this position will be employed by the Cooperative Institute for Limnology and Ecosystem Research (CILER; www.ciler.snre.umich.edu), a joint institute between the University of Michigan's School of Natural Resources and Environment (www.snre.umich.edu) and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). The position will be located at NOAA's Great Lakes Environmental Research Laboratory (GLERL; www.glerl.noaa.gov) in Ann Arbor, MI.

Qualifications

Minimum qualifications include a PhD in Fisheries Science, Aquatic Ecology, or related field. Strong quantitative skills and experience in developing bioenergetics, individual-based, and/or food web models are required.

Experience with underwater acoustics and working on interdisciplinary research teams is desired.

How to Apply

Please submit cover letter, CV, and names and contact numbers of three references to Dr. Stephen Brandt (Stephen.b.brandt@noaa.gov).
