Diving behaviour and foraging activity of St. Lawrence beluga in the context of noise exposure This is an update of a previously-posted post-doctoral position that aims to clarify the qualifications required by candidates. A post-doctoral candidate is sought to undertake a two- to three-year project to exploit digital-tag behavioural data from St. Lawrence beluga to examine their diving behaviour and foraging activity in the context of noise exposure. Applicants should possess an internationally-recognised doctoral degree from an accredited institution. The candidate should be self-motivated, and able to work within a team framework. He/she should have an interest in applied ecology, and a strong background in behavioural ecology exploiting archival tag data, and in statistics and computer science. We seek a candidate to begin work ASAP in October-November 2019 (or earlier) and to continue until March 2022. The successful candidate will be employed as a Research Scientist level 01 (RES01) within the Canadian Government. Salary starts at around $57,000 CAD/year. A portion (up to a cap) of moving expenses can be covered. This offer is made under the Post-doctoral Program of the Canadian Government, which is managed via Natural Resources Canada (NRCAN). https://www.rncan.gc.ca/carrieres/17881 The position will be based at the Maurice Lamontagne Institute of Fisheries and Oceans Canada, Mont-Joli, Quebec, Canada. The project will be conducted under the supervision of Dr. Véronique Lesage, and will involve significant collaboration with Drs. Yvan Simard (DFO Research Scientist, and Chair in Acoustics at University of Quebec in Rimouski) and Florian Aulanier (DFO Research Scientist). Knowledge of French is an asset, but is not essential for the position. However, a demonstrated ability to write and communicate efficiently in English is absolutely essential for this position. Candidates interested in the position should email veronique.lesage@dfo-mpo.gc.ca<mailto:veronique.lesage@dfo-mpo.gc.ca> and submit a resume including a list of publications and contact information for three references.
