Athens, Georgia, United States University of Georgia Full time

Job Summary

A postdoctoral research position is available in the Odum School of Ecology at the University of Georgia. The research will focus on the practical application and modeling of sarcoptic mange control in wildlife. The goals of the research are to: (1) work with stakeholders engaged in on-ground disease management problems; (2) advance a modeling framework to enhance alignment with the types and nuances of management undertaken in situ; and (3) produce data-informed management guidelines for select host species impacted by sarcoptic mange.

Responsibilities

  • Design and conduct research on infectious disease management
  • Write scholarly articles and present research
  • Assist with collaborative projects

Requirements

The ideal applicant for this position will have a strong appreciation for the realities of on-ground wildlife disease management, and with the creativity to think innovatively in this space. The applicant will listen to, understand the nuances, and work with stakeholders engaged in disease management attempts, as well as willingness to gain first-hand experience. The applicant will be competent with modeling, but does not have to be a modeler per se, as practical cross-disciplinary skills are equally important for this research.

Preferred Qualifications

Relevant/Preferred Education, Experience, Licensure, Certification in Position Ideally, the candidate will be proficient with coding (such as with R), have experience with mathematical and statistical modeling, have experience working with wildlife (e.g., surveying, handling, etc.) and some wildlife pathogens, and have an appreciation for management of wildlife or their pathogens.

Working Conditions

Driving as needed to perform job duties.

Security Access

No.

Background Investigation Policy

Offers of employment are contingent upon completion of a background investigation including, a criminal background check demonstrating your eligibility for employment with the University of Georgia; confirmation of the credentials and employment history reflected in your application materials (including reference checks) as they relate to the job-based requirements of the position applied for; and, if applicable, a satisfactory credit check.
