Dear colleagues, We're hiring two postdocs for marine mammal-focused research at Stony Brook University in New York. Both can be either at the post doc or senior postdoc level: 1. A postdoc focused on predator-prey interactions and bioenergetics in the context of climate change. https://stonybrooku.taleo.net/careersection/2/jobdetail.ftl?job=2300377&tz=G... Required Qualifications (as evidenced by an attached resume): Ph.D. (or foreign equivalent) in hand by June 2023. Preferred Qualifications: Ph.D. (or foreign equivalent) in biology, ecology, oceanography, fisheries science or a closely related field in hand by June 2023. Demonstrated quantitative modeling skills. Experience working with ecological datasets. Strong publication record. Knowledge of bioenergies. Brief Description of Duties: The Postdoctoral Associate will conduct research in the School of Marine and Atmospheric Sciences (SoMAS) <https://www.stonybrook.edu/commcms/somas/> under the supervision of Principal Investigators, Drs.Lesley Thorne <http://www.thornelab.com> and Janet Nye <https://you.stonybrook.edu/somas/people/faculty/janet-nye/>, and will collaborate with a transdisciplinary team of ecologists and oceanographers. The selected candidate will lead analyses and manuscripts focused on predator-prey interactions and bioenergetics in the context of climate change. The incumbent will model the effects of changing forage species on marine predators with a focus on the New York Bight. Successful candidates will have strong verbal and written communication skills, and have experience working collaboratively as part of a diverse research team. 2. A postdoc focused on biophysical interactions and passive acoustic observations of large whales from ocean gliders. https://stonybrooku.taleo.net/careersection/2/jobdetail.ftl?job=2300455&tz=G... Required Qualifications (as evidenced by an attached resume): Ph.D. (or foreign equivalent) in hand by June 2023. Preferred Qualifications: Ph.D. (or foreign equivalent) in biology, ecology, oceanography or a closely related field in hand by June 2023. Demonstrated quantitative modeling skills. Experience working with oceanographic or ecological datasets. Experience conducting marine field studies. Familiarity with passive acoustic observations of cetaceans. Familiarity with glider operations or hydrographic surveys. Brief Description of Duties: The Postdoctoral Associate will conduct research in the School of Marine and Atmospheric Sciences <https://www.stonybrook.edu/commcms/somas/> under the supervision of Principal Investigator, Dr. Lesley Thorne <http://www.thornelab.com> and Drs. Jack McSweeney <https://www.stonybrook.edu/commcms/somas/people/_profiles/jack-mcsweeney.php>, Charles Flagg <https://www.stonybrook.edu/commcms/somas/people/_profiles/charles-flagg.php>, and Joseph Warren <https://www.stonybrook.edu/experts/profile/joseph-warren>. The selected candidate will conduct analysis and produce manuscripts focused on biophysical interactions and passive acoustic observations of large whales from ocean gliders. The incumbent will support glider operations monitoring oceanographic and biological conditions in the Mid-Atlantic Bight. The successful candidate will experience working collaboratively as part of a diverse research team. Closing date for both is March 26.
