A postdoctoral position is currently available at the Institute of
Arctic Biology (IAB) at the University of Alaska Fairbanks (UAF). This
project entails projecting changes in biomass and digestibility of
caribou forages to gain a better understanding of how these changes may
affect the fat and protein dynamics of coastal and upland calving
caribou in the Arctic. The investigation will utilize an arctic and
boreal specific dynamic vegetation model that will be linked to an
existing caribou energetics model. This project will involve direct
collaboration with scientists from several U.S. and Canadian management
agencies.
This is a full-time, fixed term position with benefits, with initial
appointment for one year, and potential for repeated renewal contingent
on the availability of funding. The successful applicant should possess
a strong background in ecological modeling with expertise in one or more
of the following areas: terrestrial ecology, plant ecology, wildlife,
biogeochemistry, and/or computer programming. The candidate must hold a
PhD at the time of appointment or have completed all PhD requirements
and be awaiting graduation.
