Description

The Freshwater Community Ecology Lab at Oklahoma State University is seeking 2 Post-doctoral Research Associates to investigate fish population dynamics. One project is focused on predicting native and non-native fish responses to future climate conditions and management actions in the Colorado River basin. This project will work closely with Dr. Charles Yackulic (USGS) and an interdisciplinary team of researchers and state/federal managers. The second project will work closely with U.S. Forest Service and U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to identify drivers of native darter occupancy and abundance in the Ouachita Highlands and develop a long-term research plan. Both projects will integrate multiple data types and modeling approaches to link long-term fish responses to environmental variability. Some travel may be required to work with collaborators or visit field sites in Colorado, Utah, Arizona, and Oklahoma. We encourage all interested people to apply despite preconceived notions of their own experience as it relates to the project objectives. For example, we encourage those with diverse backgrounds in ecology, biology, mathematics, statistics, fisheries, wildlife biology, or other closely related disciplines to apply. The Freshwater Community Ecology Lab and Oklahoma Cooperative Fish and Wildlife Research Unit is committed to diversity, equity, and inclusion. We are committed to fostering an environment where diversity of background and thought is accepted and encouraged. For more specific information about the projects, please contact lindsey.bruckerhoff@okstate.edu.
