Please forward to folks that would be interested.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">We can be flexible in when the person starts but would like to line up someone soon. Ideally we would find someone with a great background in spatial statistics. Experience with coral reefs isn’t necessary so folks with terrestrial, aquatic, fisheries backgrounds or the like that are very quantitative would be strong candidates. We have enough reef-type folks involved as it is. An extra quantitative person is what we are really looking for regardless of their previous study system. </div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Best</div><div class="">Deron</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><p class="MsoNormal"><font size="2" class=""><b class=""><span class="" style="font-family: Tahoma;">Post-doctoral researcher in quantitative marine ecology</span></b><span class="" style="font-family: Tahoma;"><o:p class=""></o:p></span></font></p><p class="MsoNormal"><font size="2" class=""><span class="" style="font-family: Tahoma;">We are seeking a post-doctoral researcher in quantitative ecology.

The successful candidate will be based in Robert van Woesik’s lab, at the Florida Institute of Technology, but will have opportunities to spend time in Deron Burkepile’s lab at the University of California Santa Barbara.</span><span class="" style="font-family: Tahoma;"><o:p class=""></o:p></span></font></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span class="" style="font-family: Tahoma;"><font size="2" class=""> <o:p class=""></o:p></font></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><font size="2" class=""><b class=""><span class="" style="font-family: Tahoma;">Required qualifications:</span></b><span class="" style="font-family: Tahoma;"><o:p class=""></o:p></span></font></p><p class="MsoNormal"><font size="2" class=""><span class="" style="font-family: Tahoma;">• A Ph.D. in ecology or related quantitative science, including statistics and spatial mathematics - background in coral reefs or marine ecosystems is not necessary</span></font></p><p class="MsoNormal"><font size="2" class=""><span class="" style="font-family: Tahoma;">• Excellent publication record</span><span class="" style="font-family: Tahoma;"><o:p class=""></o:p></span></font></p><p class="MsoNormal"><font size="2" class=""><span class="" style="font-family: Tahoma;">• Experience processing, manipulating, and analyzing large datasets</span><span class="" style="font-family: Tahoma;"><o:p class=""></o:p></span></font></p><p class="MsoNormal"><font size="2" class=""><span class="" style="font-family: Tahoma;">• Demonstrated aptitude for coding in R</span><span class="" style="font-family: Tahoma;"><o:p class=""></o:p></span></font></p><p class="MsoNormal"><font size="2" class=""><span class="" style="font-family: Tahoma;">• Experience with spatial and temporal datasets</span><span class="" style="font-family: Tahoma;"><o:p class=""></o:p></span></font></p><p class="MsoNormal"><font size="2" class=""><span class="" style="font-family: Tahoma;">• Demonstrated ability to mentor students</span><span class="" style="font-family: Tahoma;"><o:p class=""></o:p></span></font></p><p class="MsoNormal"><font size="2" class=""><span class="" style="font-family: Tahoma;">• Strong interpersonal and communication skills</span><span class="" style="font-family: Tahoma;"><o:p class=""></o:p></span></font></p><p class="MsoNormal"><font size="2" class=""><span class="" style="font-family: Tahoma;">• Ability to work both independently and collaboratively</span><span class="" style="font-family: Tahoma;"><o:p class=""></o:p></span></font></p><p class="MsoNormal"><font size="2" class=""><span class="" style="font-family: Tahoma;">• Capacity to communicate research findings at professional meetings</span><span class="" style="font-family: Tahoma;"><o:p class=""></o:p></span></font></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span class="" style="font-family: Tahoma;"><font size="2" class=""> <o:p class=""></o:p></font></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><font size="2" class=""><span class="" style="font-family: Tahoma;">The post-doc position is for one year with reappointment possible given satisfactory progress for another two years.
