18. Postdoc, Florida International University
Miami, FL
Postdoctoral position at FIU, Miami: Bonefish decline in Florida Bay,
Everglades: linking key drivers & recreational fisheries
Desired start date: Summer/Fall 2014
Duration:2-3 years
Salary:$45,000/year plus benefits
Location:Florida International University, Miami, FL (Rehage lab &
Southeast Environmental Research Center)
Position Description
We seek a talented and enthusiastic postdoctoral researcher to work with
a team of researchers examining the decline of bonefish in Florida Bay,
Everglades National Park. Bonefish (Albula vulpes) are an
economically-important recreational fishery in South Florida and the
Caribbean, yet little is known about their ecology and population dynamics.
Our study will examine the observed decline in the recreational angler
catches of bonefish in Florida Bay and aims to identify the underlying
drivers. Florida Bay is a shallow embayment at the southern end of the
Everglades, bordered by the Florida Keys, and strongly affected by
upstream water management and ongoing restoration efforts. Our project
will examine the potential drivers of bonefish decline in Florida Bay
taking a comprehensive and long-term retrospective approach that
integrates multiple datasets.
The postdoc will be based in the Rehage lab at Florida International
University, and will work with other faculty at the Southeast
Environmental Research Center (SERC) at FIU (Dr. Fourqurean-seagrass
ecology, Dr. Briceno-water quality, Dr. Heinen-natural resources-people
conflicts), with researchers at Everglades National Park and at other
agencies, and in close collaboration with the Bonefish and Tarpon Trust.
The primary role of the postdoc will be to lead data analysis and
manuscript preparation using multiple long-term datasets. Existing
datasets expand 20+ years and include: (1) hydrological, water quality
and climatic parameters, (2) seagrass dynamics, (3) prey abundance and
distribution, and (4) bonefish angler catches. The angler catch data
come from 2 key sources of information: creel data and fishing guide
reports collected by Everglades National Park, and a survey of anglers
and fishing guides being conducted as part of this study (work by a
graduate student on the project).
Primary duties for the postdoc are to:
*Work with project PIs and collaborators to obtain, organize and prepare
individual datasets for analysis.
*Conduct sophisticated spatial (GIS-based) and temporal analyses (e.g.,
time series) to examine linkages among data sets and identify the key
factors driving bonefish angler catches in the system.
In addition to working with existing datasets, the postdoc will have the
opportunity to assist with the key informant survey of anglers and
guides and the design of a citizen science angler program associated
with the project. The postdoc will also have the opportunity to
collaborate on other projects in the Rehage and SERC PI labs, on ongoing
research in an NSF-funded South Florida Water, Sustainability and
Climate (WSC) project, and be part of the Florida Coastal Everglades
LTER program and of other Everglades restoration-related research and
activities.
Requirements: A PhD in ecology, fisheries, statistics or related field
by Spring 2014 is required, and a degree with emphasis on quantitative
skills is preferred. Excellent statistical skills, and evidence of these
in previous work and publications in combination with a strong
ecological/fisheries sense are needed for this position. In particular,
experience in geospatial statistics, GIS, ecological modeling, and
analysis of large datasets are essential. Experience and interest in
aquatic/marine ecology, population ecology, fisheries, working with
multiple data sets including angler records are also preferred.
Applicants must have a demonstrated record of publication in
peer-reviewed journals, and ability to interface well with
collaborators, resource managers and stakeholders (anglers).
To apply: Please send a single PDF containing (1) a cover letter
describing your fit for this position (particularly describing your
quantitative skills, past accomplishments & career goals), (2) a CV
including a list of 3 references, and (3) representative publications to
Dr. Jennifer Rehage, http://www.bonefishtarpontrust.org/
