Classification Title: Research Professional AD
FLSA: Exempt
FTE: 1.00
Minimum Qualifications: Requires at least a baccalaureate degree in the field. Please contact your Human Resources office for an evaluation of education/experience in lieu of the required minimum qualifications.
Preferred Qualifications: MS or PhD in human dimensions, social sciences or related discipline conferred by August 31, 2021.
Applicants must have experience in survey design and quantitative analysis, including analysis of survey data (e.g. logistic regression). Applicants must be proficient in computer languages suitable for statistical analysis (e.g., R, STATA).
Position Summary: Managing human-wildlife interactions in urbanized environments is an increasing concern for wildlife management agencies. Although suburban and urban environments provide important habitat for wildlife, the high density of people increases the probability of negative human-wildlife interactions (e.g., vehicle collisions with deer, damage to personal property by wildlife, harm to pets, anthropogenic food conditioning of wildlife). Suburban and urban residents may have limited knowledge of wildlife or how to mitigate potential conflicts with wildlife. Moreover, suburban and urban residents may be unaware that state wildlife agencies have the expertise to assist them in managing potential conflicts with wildlife.
The successful candidate will conduct a human dimensions study in the metropolitan Atlanta (metro-Atlanta) region to determine the following:
1. Metro-Atlanta residents' level of wildlife tolerance, and determinants of wildlife tolerance, e.g. attitudes, beliefs, risk concerns, pet ownership, socio-demographics;
2. Perceived positive and negative impacts of wildlife, and whether certain wildlife species tend to be liked or disliked;
3. Residents' knowledge of appropriate actions to mitigate human-wildlife conflicts, and their willingness to engage in these actions;
4. Residents' prior awareness of Georgia Department of Natural Resources (GADNR), and their level of trust in GADNR; and
5. How residents would prefer to receive information about living with wildlife.
Knowledge, Skills, Abilities and/or Competencies: Applicants must have completed graduate level coursework in human dimensions theories and methods (or comparable social sciences methods) prior to the start date of this position. Applicants must demonstrate that they can apply human dimensions or other social sciences theories and methods in an applied research context. Applicants must have experience in survey design and quantitative analysis, including analysis of survey data (e.g. logistic regression). Applicants must be proficient in computer languages suitable for statistical analysis (e.g., R, STATA).
Physical Demands: The successful applicant is expected to meet with the research team on a regular basis (subject to social distancing protocols required to manage COVID-19) and to complete all job duties that expect the applicant to be present on the University of Georgia campus.
