University of Victoria
Canada
Global concern is mounting about declines in marine biodiversity and the
potential repercussions for people’s well-being, pointing to the need to
improve biodiversity conservation and resource management. Some effort
has been spent to identify management strategies that work ecologically,
and thus crucial questions for marine biodiversity conservation and
resource management to succeed are: what social and governance
characteristics are essential for, or contribute to, successful
management? And how can these be integrated into biodiversity
conservation planning and management? The postdoctoral fellow will help
to address these questions by working towards two objectives, as part of
assistant professor Dr. Natalie Ban’s research group
(http://natalieban.wordpress.com/):
1. Using case studies and meta-analysis, analyse social and
governance characteristics that contribute to desirable ecological and
social outcomes of marine conservation and management initiatives at
large scales.
2. Propose options for integrating findings into marine
conservation planning and management.
Location:University of Victoria, Canada.
Length:12 months, with renewal for another 12 months upon satisfactory
performance.
Salary:$40,000.
Start date:As soon as possible, but flexible.
Deadline:Applications will be reviewed starting January 15, 2014. The
position will remain upon until filled.
Selection criteria:
A PhD, or will shortly satisfy the requirements for a PhD degree, in
environmental studies, geography, conservation biology, political
science, anthropology, or related field.
Experience in the application of quantitative spatial analysis and/or
statistical techniques in social dimensions of conservation or resource
management.
Familiarity with literature on social-ecological systems and common pool
resources.
Experience working in marine systems is an asset, but not essential.
Ability to develop and pursue novel research approaches and solutions.
Strong oral and written communication skills; a record of publishing in
the peer-reviewed literature is a strong asset.
Ability to contribute successfully as part of a scientific team.
To apply, please email a cover letter detailing how you meet the
criteria, two academic references, a CV, and a writing sample to Dr.
Natalie Ban at nban at uvic.ca <mailto:nban at uvic.ca>. Preference may be
given to Canadian citizens or permanent residents.

The study combines O, C, and clumped isotope proxies, and P/Ca ratios
with taxonomic and ecological data from the framework of the Panama
Paleontology Project (PPP).
