Dear all,
We have funding for a 1 year ecological modelling postdoctoral
fellowship available at RMIT University, Melbourne, Australia. See below
for details.
Regards,
Ascelin
------------------------------------------------------------------------
*Postdoctoral Fellow at RMIT University (Melbourne, Australia)*
We are looking for a full-time postdoctoral fellow to work on an ARC
funded project that deals with ecological modelling. The project will
continue for one year over 2018. The applicant should be highly
motivated, have a good mathematics/statistics background as well as a
strong interest in ecology and biology (and/or possibly epidemiology).
Preference will be given to applicants who have experience with modern
spatial statistics, though a range of applicants will be considered. The
position will remain open until filled and will be based at RMIT
University (City Campus, Melbourne, Australia), led by CI's Yan Wang,
Ascelin Gordon, and support from Lewi Stone and Robert Dorazio. The
application will sit within Mathematical and geospatial sciences (
https://www.rmit.edu.au/about/our-education/academic-schools/science/research/research-areas/mathematical-and-geospatial-sciences
) and have the option to spend time within the Interdisciplinary
Conservation Science Research Group ( https://icsrg.info/ ).
Project Summary:
This project will provide innovative new spatial modelling tools to
improve our understanding of species distributions. Broadly speaking,
the successful candidate together with the CI's will be developing a
general framework for extending species distribution models to deal with
multiple species, incorporating both their interactions as well as
surveillance errors in detection. This is a loose guideline; there are
also possibilities for pursuing work on related research topics,
possibly including network and epidemiological modelling
Applicants should send full CV's (plus the names of three potential
referees) to Dr. Yan Wang [email protected].
Enquiries are welcome.
