Postdoc #1:

Mathematical Biology - Postdoctoral Position, Stony Brook University  
(http://bit.ly/1DJxRBZ)

A postdoctoral position will be available, starting on or after July  
1, 2015, in Dr. Heather Lynch?s
lab in the Department of Ecology & Evolution at Stony Brook  
University, Stony Brook, NY. This
post-doc will be part of a project titled: "The use of Quantitative  
Geography to Predict Population
Tipping Points for Colonial Seabirds"; this postdoctoral researcher  
will be one member of a team
of researchers working to integrate satellite imagery with statistical  
and mathematical models of
seabird colony formation. The primary responsibility of this position  
is the development of
mathematical models for spatial pattern formation in penguin colonies;  
additional mathematical
or statistical modeling studies relevant to penguin population  
dynamics may be pursued
depending on interest. Ideal applicants will have completed their  
Ph.D. in applied mathematics,
physics, or mathematical biology; prior experience with the  
mathematics of biological or
ecological systems ideal but not required. This position will require  
close collaboration with a
graduate student and another post-doc working on remote sensing, as  
well as mentorship of
undergraduate and high school researchers, so strong communication  
skills with nonmathematicians
are essential. Members of groups under-represented in applied mathematics
are particularly encouraged to apply. Applications should be received  
by May 8, 2015.

Applicants should apply online at http://bit.ly/1DJxRBZ.

Postdoc #2:

Bioinformatics/software design - Postdoctoral Position, Stony Brook  
University (http://bit.ly/1ywHNi6)

A postdoctoral position will be available, starting on or after July  
1, 2015, in Dr. Heather
Lynch?s lab in the Department of Ecology & Evolution at Stony Brook  
University, Stony Brook,
NY. This post-doc will be part of a NASA-funded project titled:  
"Bayesian Data-Model Synthesis
for Biological Conservation and Management in Antarctica"; this  
postdoctoral researcher will be
one member of a team of researchers working to develop decision  
support software for
Antarctic management. The primary responsibility of this position is  
the development of a
software application that will facilitate the search of Antarctic  
biodiversity data and the output
of model projections; additional statistical modeling studies relevant  
to modeling penguin
population dynamics may be pursued depending on interest. Ideal  
applicants will have
completed their Ph.D. in computer science, ecology, or applied  
mathematics and have
experience with database management, JavaScript, and R programming;  
prior experience with
Bayesian modeling, PHP, and python preferred. This position will  
require close collaboration
with application end-users in the Antarctic community and so strong  
communication skills are
essential. Members of groups under-represented in computer science are  
particularly
encouraged to apply. Applications should be received by May 8, 2015.

Applicants should apply online at http://bit.ly/1ywHNi6.
