Postdoctoral Position in Animal Behavior and Demography Arizona State University Applications are invited for a postdoctoral position in behavioral ecology and population biology/demography. The position is available from October 1, 2007, for a period of up to 2 years. Postdoc will work with PI and graduate students on an NSF-funded project to 1) integrate theories from behavioral ecology with quantitative techniques in demography and 2) contribute to an empirical research program on California sea lions in the Gulf of California, Mexico to test hypotheses regarding the degree to which the demography of sea lions depends on reproductive behavior. More detail on the project can be found at http://www.public.asu.edu/~lrgerbe/. We are seeking an individual who is comfortable with large datasets and programming scripts for non-standard statistical tools in R or SAS to handle nesting, temporal autocorrelation and other statistical dependencies that plague large behavioral datasets. One of the central goals is to advance new statistical approaches to behavioral studies. Analyses of the data will be based on questions of interests to both the PI and the postdoc. The main criteria are: a knowledge of standard statistics for ecology, familiarity with elementary programming and modelling, research experience in some type of ecological field work, and imagination, curiosity, and a knack for working independently. In addition, knowledge of demographic modeling approaches are desirable. A PhD in some aspect of ecology is required. The person will be based at Arizona State University in Tempe with potential for field work in the Gulf of California Mexico. Send CV, statement of research interests, and contact information for 3 references to leah.gerber@asu.edu. Closing date: 10/1/2007, or until a successful candidate is identified.
