Subject: Postdoc in food web modeling at Rutgers

Dear Colleagues,
I would appreciate your help spreading the word about this postdoc  
position.  Information below and attached.
The Department of Marine & Coastal Sciences at Rutgers University  
invites applications for a postdoctoral research associate to fill a  
position in modeling of estuarine food web dynamics. The candidate  
will be based in Dr. Olaf Jensen?s lab on the New Brunswick campus and  
will join a large, multi-institutional team within the Coastal Waters  
Consortium, funded by the Gulf of Mexico Research Initiative.  The  
research focuses on understanding potential differences in food web  
organization and energy flow between oiled and unoiled sites and among  
sub-habitats in a Louisiana salt marsh in the aftermath of the 2010  
Deepwater Horizon oil spill. The candidate will be responsible for  
developing quantitative food web models that incorporate information  
from field surveys and diverse sources of diet information, including  
analysis of stomach contents, stable isotopes, and fatty acids.   
Additional duties include helping undergraduate students conduct  
independent research projects, and presenting and publishing research  
results.  Funding is available for up to three years.

Requirements: Ph.D. in ecology, fishery science, or another relevant  
field is required.  Preference will be given to applicants (1) with  
demonstrated expertise in predator-prey, food web, or ecosystem  
modeling, (2) who can code efficiently in R or Matlab, and (3) who  
have a strong publication record.  The candidate should have excellent  
oral and written English language communications skills.  The position  
will remain open until filled with a preferred start date of June 1,  
2015.

For questions or to apply, please submit cover letter, CV, and contact  
information for three references to:  Olaf Jensen

Please feel free to repost and forward to potential candidates.

Best Regards,
Olaf
