About this position
The University of Georgia’s Odum School of Ecology is recruiting a Postdoctoral Associate to join the Water and Wildlife Lab in Athens, Georgia, USA.
This postdoctoral opening sits at the intersection of spatial ecology, biodiversity data, remote sensing, and AI. The research spans two connected themes: (1) spatial ecology of terrestrial birds, wetlands, and riparian habitats, and (2) biodiversity accounting for Nature-based Solutions.
The project involves working with large environmental and biodiversity datasets, including remote-sensing imagery, river-flow data, eBird, and NEON. The role also includes applying quantitative spatial methods such as machine learning and Bayesian approaches, plus developing browser-based decision-support tools and using AI agents to support their functionality.
Eligibility highlights: applicants should hold a PhD in Ecology, Biology, or a related field; have a strong publication record; be comfortable analyzing large public datasets; and have proficiency in Python and/or JavaScript. Strong communication skills and the ability to work effectively in a scientific team are also expected. Experience with Nature-based Solutions, biodiversity accounting/net gain, river or riparian ecology, or AI-enabled decision-support tools would strengthen an application.
Funding/benefits: the post includes health and retirement benefits. The post does not list a salary and does not specify immigration or sponsorship support.
Application: the official application is available via UGA Job Search. The required materials are a CV/resume, cover letter, and unofficial transcripts. Review begins immediately and the position is open until filled.
