Posting Details Position Information Job Title Post-Doctoral Fellow - AU Fish Ecology Group Posting Number P0895F Position Summary Information Job Description Summary The Fish Ecology Group at the Ireland Center in Auburn University's School of Fisheries,
Aquaculture & Aquatic Sciences is currently seeking interested and qualified applicants for a postdoctoral position to participate in a large scale, comprehensive study of the influence of dams with low-use navigational locks on riverine fish populations. The overall project includes a combination of field sampling and fish tracking, lab work with fish physiology (respirometry and ETS analyses), and hydrological/behavioral simulation modeling components, all in a collaborative research effort involving Auburn University personnel and colleagues from State and Federal agencies. This is a benefit eligible, non-tenure track position. The appointment is for an initial period of one year with a possibility of continuance up to a maximum of four years depending on performance and funding availability.

The Program: The Fish Ecology Group at the Ireland Center in Auburn University's School of Fisheries, Aquaculture & Aquatic Sciences is currently involved in research investigating the ecology and management of aquatic organisms in a variety of systems. Recent/ongoing work has included the effects of a peaking hydropower facility on downstream fishes, respirometry and ETS measures of fishes to quantify thermal and DO stress, ecology of coastal fishes in the northern Gulf of Mexico, effects of an introduced planktivore on resident fishes and other aquatic organisms in Alabama reservoirs, adaptations of freshwater fishes to life in estuarine waters, use of lock chambers to pass riverine fishes, management of small impoundments, as well as study of the ongoing study of the effects of lock-and dam structures on riverine fishes. Laboratory and field facilities are outstanding, including expansive pond facilities, large wet labs, controlled environment space, laboratory respirometry capabilities (including both static and swimming respirometry), and recently renovated student office space. Our staff and students work with natural resource agency biologists, travel widely for professional activities, and maintain a team approach to research.

The Postdoctoral Position: We are seeking someone at the postdoctoral level to work with the PIs to provide oversight of the project, helping to coordinate field and lab schedules of graduate students and technicians, and to take the lead on some individual aspects of the project within their particular area of expertise. Ecologists with strong backgrounds in field, laboratory, and/or quantitative approaches (e.g., statistical analyses, behavioral modelling, etc.) are desired. Preparation of manuscripts for publication will be an important aspect of the position, both from this work as well as from the individual's previous work. The salary will be commensurate with the selected individual's experience, and will include benefits, as well as any required technical help, all costs of conducting the research (including travel to field sites, supplies and equipment, etc.), and travel to scientific meetings.
