Post Doc Opportunity - Right whale behavior and acoustics
The Bioacoustics Research Group in the Department of Biology at Syracuse
University in Syracuse, NY (http://parkslab.syr.edu/), is seeking a
postdoctoral researcher to join our group to bring new ideas, approaches and
analytical methods to the analysis of behavioral data collected from marine
organisms. The work in the lab is focused on the ecological role of acoustic
communication and the impacts of noise on communication. This position is
specifically to support ongoing data collection and analysis of a long-term
study of behavior of North Atlantic right whale mother-calf pairs off the East
Coast of the United States.
PhD in Animal Behavior, Biology, Ecology or similar field required. Candidates
with strong analytical skills preferred. Three or more years experience in
related animal behavior or bioacoustics research as evidenced by publication in
peer-reviewed journals preferred.
We are seeking a candidate with a strong background in behavioral ecology and
an interest in developing new analytical methods related to behavioral data
and/or long-term acoustic recordings. The successful candidate will be expected
to contribute to work in three main areas in lab:
1. Aid in collection and
analyses of behavioral and acoustic data from North Atlantic right whale
mother-calf pairs.
2. Develop new methods to analyze and visualize data sets.
3. Contribute to publication of data in peer-reviewed journals.
A complete application package should include a brief description of past
research accomplishments and future goals, CV, PDFs of two publications, and
contact information for three professional references. Please follow this link
