About this position
A postdoctoral position based in Fort Collins, Colorado, will investigate fire and ungulate ecology in central Utah through a large collaboration involving the U.S. Forest Service Rocky Mountain Research Station, Colorado State University, the Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation, Utah Division of Wildlife Resources, Brigham Young University, and Dr. Tim Laske.
The project will address several questions concerning fire, deer, and elk in a region that has experienced more than five fires over the past 20 years. Research resources include physiological biologgers, GPS data from more than 100 deer and elk, camera-trap data documenting predator detections, and diet data generated through metabarcoding. The work offers opportunities in wildlife ecology, quantitative ecology, fire ecology, animal movement, predator-prey research, and ecological monitoring.
The position is currently funded for 1.5 years, with potential for extension. The postdoctoral researcher will be based in Fort Collins, Colorado, while conducting research focused on central Utah. Applicants should consult the official details for eligibility requirements, preferred qualifications, and application instructions.
