Dear MARMAM Community,

The Geospatial Ecology of Marine Megafauna 
Laboratory<https://mmi.oregonstate.edu/gemm-lab/> in the Oregon State 
University Marine Mammal Institute is seeking applicants for a postdoctoral 
research position focused on whale spatial ecology and conservation. The 
successful applicant will play a key role in research projects investigating 
large whale distribution and interactions with fishing gear off the coast of 
Oregon, USA to help inform conservation management efforts.
The full-time postdoctoral scholar position is fully funded for 18 months, 
providing a competitive stipend and health insurance. Start date is 1 March 
2024.

Please see the full description and information about the application process
