About this position

Auburn University's College of Forestry, Wildlife and Environment is seeking a Postdoctoral Research Associate in Quantitative Ecology to contribute to ongoing research with the Motus collaborative wildlife research network.

The project will support the development of scientific products for informing the spatial prioritization of new wildlife tracking tower deployments. The postdoctoral researcher will also develop techniques for the quantitative analysis of data collected by Motus collaborators, working with large spatial and movement datasets generated through collaborative wildlife research.

Responsibilities include managing and analyzing data in R, applying advanced statistical approaches—including Bayesian methods and other quantitative techniques—to integrate information from multiple sources, preparing peer-reviewed manuscripts, presenting findings at professional conferences, mentoring graduate and undergraduate students, and building collaborative relationships with university, agency, and nonprofit partners.

The research environment combines quantitative ecology, avian movement ecology, wildlife science, spatial analysis, and collaborative data-intensive research within Auburn University's College of Forestry, Wildlife and Environment.

Funding details

The postdoctoral position is a full-time, limited-term appointment. The post does not state a salary, stipend, tuition coverage, or other specific funding details; Auburn University mentions employee benefits and educational opportunities.

What's required

Applicants must hold a doctorate in wildlife sciences or a related discipline, with the degree conferred before the start date. Required qualifications include proficiency in R for statistical analysis and data management, a strong publication record commensurate with career stage, and eligibility to work legally in the United States for the term of employment. Preferred qualifications include experience in avian movement ecology; advanced statistical techniques such as Bayesian hierarchical modeling and machine learning; mentoring students and technicians in avian ecology projects; field techniques including point counts, bird capture, transmitter attachment, and species distribution modeling; and collaborations with state, federal, university, or nonprofit partners. Applications must include a letter of interest, curriculum vitae, names and full contact information for at least three professional references, and official transcripts showing doctorate conferral and date of conferral.
