[Jpjobs] Postdoctoral Research Associate - Announcement of Vacancy

[Postdoctoral Coordinator]

Good Afternoon,

Arizona State University has a postdoctoral opportunity related to 
quantitative fisheries programs, and computational science/resource 
management programs, as described below.  Please forward to any 
interested parties.  We appreciate your partnership with regard to this 
opportunity.

Arizona State University welcomes applications for an exciting 
interdisciplinary Research Scientist position within the department of 
Applied Sciences and Mathematics.  Applications from people with a 
variety of different academic backgrounds welcome to apply, including 
but not limited to fisheries science, economics, computational science, 
mathematics, ecology, biology, geography, and statistics.  The incumbent 
will work with the PI to develop and use quantitative approaches 
(statistical and agent-based modeling techniques) towards representing 
fish population dynamics, behavior and decision making of fishers, and 
the distribution of coral reef fish populations relative to sub-tropical 
and tropical benthic habitat characteristics and types (i.e. artificial 
and natural coral reefs, sea grass beds, etc.).  The applicant’s 
specific role in the project will depend on their experience, training, 
and background. Analyses will be used to support the expansion and 
further development of an existing agent-based model representing fish 
population dynamics, habitat, fishing behavior for reef fish in the Gulf 
of Mexico.  The model will be used for several purposes, including 
understanding the effects of the historic 2010 oil spill on fishing 
communities, essential fish habitat, and fish population dynamics in the 
Gulf of Mexico.  The incumbent will also have the opportunity to develop 
their own parallel research track, ideally but not necessarily related 
to one of the research themes described.  The position will afford the 
successful applicant with opportunities to publish in high profile peer 
review journals, give presentations at national and international 
conferences, collaborate with Federal fisheries managers and scientists, 
work with fishers and other industry representatives, contribute to 
developing grant applications, and other opportunities depending on 
interest.  For more information and to apply, please see the link below 
for full position description and application instructions.
