About this position

This research opportunity with the U.S. Geological Survey focuses on developing food-web models to better understand river management questions in the Grand Canyon segment of the Colorado River Basin. The project offers a mentored research experience in ecological dynamics, food-web processes, and water-resource conditions, with an emphasis on how environmental change and hydrologic conditions influence fish populations and food-web structure.

Working with a supportive science team, the student will explore modeling approaches that examine relationships among fish consumption, environmental variation, invasive species trends, and hydrologic drivers. The experience is designed to build familiarity with how ecological modeling frameworks are developed and how they can inform broader research discussions within resource-management and hydrologic communities.

The opportunity is embedded in the scientific priorities of the Glen Canyon Dam Adaptive Management Program and provides exposure to interdisciplinary inquiry in a federal research setting. The student may also have opportunities, under mentor guidance, to contribute to scientific publications and presentations while regularly meeting with the mentor and research team to discuss scientific concepts and progress.

The research environment includes lab meetings and seminars, along with interaction with scientists and postdoctoral researchers, supporting development in quantitative analysis, ecological interpretation, and scientific communication.

Funding details

Stipend of $85,447.00–$102,415.00 per year; appointment initially for one year and may be renewed contingent on the availability of funds.

What's required

The qualified candidate should have received or be currently pursuing a doctoral degree in ecosystem ecology, population ecology, aquatic ecology, quantitative ecology, statistics, natural resources, fisheries, biology, or a similar field. This opportunity is available to U.S. citizens only. Proof of health insurance is required, and all application documents must be in English or include an official English translation.

How to apply
