Postdoctoral Quantitative Ecologist/Conservation Biologist

[cooch]

The Cornell Lab of Ornithology seeks a Postdoctoral Quantitative Ecologist/Conservation Biologist to work at the intersections of landscape ecology and applied avian conservation. This position will be housed in the Conservation Science Program and will have a leadership role in designing and implementing analyses that use a variety of acoustic, observational, and habitat data collected over broad spatial extents to understand spatio-temporal variation in distribution and habitat-use patterns of numerous bird species across their ranges.

Most datasets are pre-existing, including (1) Golden-winged Warbler occupancy data, results of audio playback surveys/experiments, and habitat data tied to information on both phenotype and genotype of territorial pairs, (2) bird survey, habitat, and contaminant (Hg) data from the Birds in Forested Landscapes project, and (3) acoustic data of passerine nocturnal flight calls and other vocalizations.

This is a one-year position with possibility of renewal. Send application letter, CV, and list of references by June 15, 2013 to: Susan Taggart, Cornell Lab of Ornithology, 159 Sapsucker Woods Road, 283A Johnson Center for Birds & Biodiversity, Ithaca, NY 14850. Inquiries about position specifics can be directed to Amanda Rodewald (arodewald@cornell.edu).
