Dear MARMAM colleagues, 

We are seeking a highly motivated postdoctoral researcher to lead a DFO (Fisheries and Oceans Canada) funded project to develop dynamic bioenergetic models for key Arctic marine mammal species in Canada like bowhead whales, walrus, and beluga. The project goal is to use the energy budget models to evaluate population dynamics over time in response to multiple stressors typical of Arctic environments, like climate change, contaminants, and shipping. Applicants should have strong skills or interest in ecological modeling, including dynamic energy budgets and/or individual based models, and should be familiar with mammalian biology and ecology. 

Project funding is available for roughly 2 years, with chance of extension pending additional funding. Position can start ASAP so apply now! There is also flexibility in remote working, especially for the initial months of the project.
