The USGS Eastern Ecological Science Center is searching for a highly motivated and talented ecologist or conservation biologist with training in statistical analyses to lead a suite of wildlife disease research projects. The Eastern Ecological Science Center, formerly Patuxent Wildlife Research Center, is a world-renowned research institution located within 30 minutes of Annapolis, Baltimore, and Washington, D.C.
This position will consist primarily of office work focusing on understanding the role of wild waterfowl in the spread and persistence of avian influenza viruses and will require the integration of disease ecology, mathematics and statistics, and decision analysis methodology to address questions relevant to disease managers. There would be opportunities to participate in field work if desired, though this is not a requirement of the position.
Additional information about our broader scope of ongoing work can be found at the USGS Eastern Ecological Science Center Disease, Decision Analysis and Research page.
To apply, please view the USGS EESC postdoctoral fellowship in disease ecology and decision analysis job announcement.
