The National Socio-Environmental Synthesis Center (SESYNC) invites
applications for two-year postdoctoral fellowships that begin August 2014.
Fellows will undertake collaboratively-developed socio-environmental or
cyberinfrastructure synthesis projects that are consistent with the
mission of SESYNC. One new fellow will develop a project on coral reef
macroecology in collaboration with Dr. Julia Baum (UVic) and Dr. Jana
McPherson (Calgary Zoo), who will serve as postdoctoral mentors during
the fellowship. Drs. Baum and McPherson are developing a gridded, high
resolution set of human disturbance and eco-tuned biophysical data
layers for use in large-scale statistical analyses of the interplay
between human and biophysical factors with coral reef ecosystem
services, function and resilience.
Requirements: The postdoctoral researcher will first help to develop the
new spatial data product, including compiling geospatial data, quality
control, processing data (converting from various projections and scales
to common grid, running summary computations on time series of
remote-sensing data) and preparing meta-data and visualizations. To
address questions regarding the influence of human and biophysical
factors on coral reef ecosystems, he/she will then construct and
validate spatial models (e.g. species distribution models and
community-level distribution models) for Pacific coral reef fishes,
using in-hand, regional-scale, standardized underwater visual census data.
This position will be based at SESYNC in Annapolis, Maryland, with
visits to work with the postdoctoral mentors in person at the University
of Victoria, British Columbia, Canada. There will also be opportunity to
visit with collaborator Dr. Ivor Williams at NOAA's Coral Reef Ecosystem
Division in Honolulu.
Qualifications:
- A PhD in ecology, spatial modelling/GIS, oceanography,
mathematical biology, or computer science.
- Experience managing, manipulating, and modelling large spatial
data sets, including remotely sensed data. Demonstrated proficiency with
R, and at least one of Python, Java, Ruby on Rails, GRASS or similar
applications.
Excellent technical, analytical, computer, organizational, and
problem-solving skills. Strong attention to detail, and meticulous work
style, as evidenced by previous research.
- Excellent time management skills, including the ability to meet
project goals in a timely manner, and follow through on projects.
- Strong interpersonal and communication skills, the ability to work
both independently and collaboratively, and to communicate research
findings both at professional meetings and in high quality peer-reviewed
journals.
Desired (not Required) Qualifications:
- An interest in marine ecology, conservation and socio-ecological
dynamics are an obvious asset.
- The ideal candidate will also be interested in and capable of
learning and utilizing emerging tools for spatial analysis, and have
proficiency in ArcGIS and in SQL database construction, management and
manipulation, as evidenced by previous projects and publications.
To apply: Applicants must be successfully pre-screened by SESYNC. To
submit a pre-screening application, please go to
www.sesync.org/forms/prescreen-postdoc-2014
<http://www.sesync.org/forms/prescreen-postdoc-2014>. Applicants must
include a CV.

Summer Internship, Hawaii Institute of Marine Biology
Hawaii
The Marine Mammal Research Program (MMRP) at the Hawaii Institute of
Marine Biology (HIMB), University of Hawaii is seeking a limited number
of highly dedicated individuals for summer internship positions. MMRP's
scientists primarily study cetacean acoustic sensory systems,
specifically hearing,

truncatus*). MMRP faculty, staff, and graduate students have backgrounds
in psychology, engineering, marine biology, zoology, and oceanography.
MMRP collaborates
with research groups and animal care facilities all over the world to
further our understanding of cetacean sensory systems both in natural
and experimental conditions providing valuable information that can be
used to mitigate threats to marine mammals.
Interns will work directly with and provide essential support to animal
care and training staff. Interns will shadow trainers in all aspects of
daily care, including food preparation, sanitation, boat and facility
maintenance, while assisting in and observing general husbandry, medical
procedures, and bio-acoustic research experiments. This opportunity will
provide interns with a foundation in animal behavior, animal husbandry,
operant conditioning training, and a unique opportunity to gain
experience in the highly competitive field of marine mammal science.
Interns need to commit to a minimum of 20- 24 hours per week, which can
be completed during a combination of full days and/or half days (all
beginning at 7am). Each day begins in the fish prep kitchen at 7am at
the Kaneohe Bay Marine Corps Base. Positions are probationary and
performance based and may be terminated at any point. Start and end
dates may be negotiable, however May 15- August 15 (or longer) is
preferred.
There is no fee for this internship and interns are responsible for
their own housing and airfare to Oahu. Some form of personal
transportation is preferred. However, there may be opportunities for
carpooling with staff to the facility each day and the Oahu bus system
is extensive and reliable. Interns are free to seek outside employment
on their days off as long as it does not interfere with their
commitments to MMRP.
Requirements:
*Major in psychology, animal science, biology, zoology, or related field
is preferred.
*Qualified applicants must be able to work in a team environment and
have good communication skills.
*Work can be physically demanding, interns must be comfortable working
in the elements (rain or shine), be able to lift 60 lbs, and be able to

qualifications, and previous experiences will benefit our program.
*Must submit a resume listing your Major, cumulative GPA, Major GPA,
expected graduation date, relevant coursework and letter grade received,
and any related professional or volunteer experiences.
