Overview

We seek a Postdoctoral Fellow II in Quantitative Population Ecology in the Utah State University Department of Wildland Resources. This is a two- to three-year position studying the population trends and management of waterbirds in the Great Salt Lake. The goals of the project are: 1) to determine the effects of changing water, habitat, and food resources on population trends of waterbirds in the Great Salt Lake; and 2) to evaluate dynamic and adaptive management strategies for waterbirds across spatiotemporal scales. The successful candidate will use long-term survey data collected by the Great Salt Lake Ecosystem Program from 1997-current across 24 survey units with the lake, and remote sensing tools to understand water and habitat change. The focus of the project will be to build spatially-explicit Bayesian hierarchical models to analyze and project waterbird populations over time and space, and how they are influenced by resources and management. The project includes opportunities for engaging with collaborators at the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources, Audubon Society, and Sageland Collaborative, as well as mentoring graduate and undergraduate students.

The position will ideally be located in Logan, UT, on the main campus of Utah State University, but fully remote-work will be considered for exceptional candidates within the U.S. This is a full-time, Postdoctoral Fellow position with salary depending on experience, and includes full benefits (13 paid holidays, 22 days of paid leave and 12 days of sick leave per year, competitive health benefits packages, and a fully-vested 14.2% employer retirement contribution). This Postdoctoral position will be available for an initial duration of one year with potential for extension for a second and third year depending on performance. This position is telework eligible within the state of Utah. Telework outside of the state

of Utah is subject to review and approval by the University prior to a job offer being extended.
