I would like to request that the following be posted on MARMAM. Post-Doctoral Positions in Marine Animal Bioacoustics Multiple postdoctoral positions are available at the U.S. Navy Marine Mammal Program. APPLICATION TO THESE POSITIONS IS ONLY OPEN TO U.S. CITIZENS. Position 1: A post-doctoral position is available to study the hearing abilities of and effects of sound on marine animals. Projects include developing acoustic impact criteria and safe exposure guidelines for marine animals, conducting behavioral and electrophysiological studies of hearing, investigating behavioral responses of marine mammals to sound, and determining the physiological effect of noise on the marine mammal auditory system (e.g. temporary threshold shifts). The applicant should possess a Ph.D. in acoustics, engineering, physics, or experimental psychology (specializing in psycho-acoustics) or biology with a strong background in mathematics. Position 2: A post-doctoral position is available in environmental studies with a focus on the impact of sound on marine mammals. Projects include analyses of abundance and distribution data, development of acoustic impact models (individual and population level), evaluation and development of acoustic impact criteria, and evaluation and preparation of environmental impact assessments. The applicant should possess a Ph.D. in biology. Applicants with a strong background in modeling, population and abundance studies, and acoustics will be given preference.
