> Department of Evolution and Ecology, UC Davis
>  
> A postdoctoral position is available for an ongoing research project in
> the lab of Dr. Gail Patricelli (UC Davis) addressing the potential
> impacts of noise from energy development on lekking greater sage-grouse
> (Centrocercus urophasianus). The larger project has involved
> extensive noise monitoring of energy sources in deep natural gas and coal

> We are seeking a postdoctoral researcher to integrate these noise
> measurements into a spatially-explicit, landscape-level model that will
> serve as a tool for researchers and wildlife managers to predict noise
> effects on grouse in present and future development areas.  The
> postdoctoral researcher will evaluate the suitability of existing
> terrestrial noise models, and adapt one of the models for this
> project.  Some processing of noise measurements and audio recordings
> will be involved. The postdoctoral researcher will also prepare results
> of the analysis for publication, and work with public agencies to
> disseminate information about the model and results.  The position
> will be based at University of California, Davis with funding for salary
> and benefits available for one year, with the possibility of seeking
> additional funds for continuation of this or a related project.
>  
> Qualifications: Applicants must have relevant Ph.D. experience in
> ecology, bioacoustics, conservation biology, sound modeling, or a related
> field.  Proficiency in GIS, good data management skills and
> excellent communication skills are essential.  Prior experience with
> noise modeling is highly desirable, but not critical.
>  
> To apply: Send the following information in electronic form to
> Gail Patricelli
> :
> cover letter, CV, and names and contact information for three references.
> Review of applications will begin immediately and continue until the
> position has been filled. Funding is available to begin immediately, but
> the start date is negotiable.
