14. Postdoctoral research fellow, University of Aberdeen
Aberdeen, Scotland
An exciting opportunity is available for the position of Research Fellow
with Dr David Lusseau at the University of Aberdeen to work on
prospective analytical techniques to assess the ability marine mammal
populations might have to compensate for behavioural disturbances. It
will focus on defining the state resilience of behavioural strategies by
analysing their transient dynamics. This will provide a framework to
inform the propensity for population consequences to emerge from
behavioural disturbances, particularly in data poor conditions. In
addition, this work will provide new metrics to complement efforts to
implement PCoD (Population Consequences of Disturbances inference
framework) in situations where data availability is limited. This
project is a collaboration between Dr. David Lusseau (University of
Aberdeen) and Pr. Daniel Costa (University of California at Santa Cruz).
The fellow will use a well-documented and well understood study system,
northern elephant seals, to demonstrate the feasibility of these techniques.
