We are seeking an individual to join our ecological and physical modeling teams at the University of Michigan's Cooperative Institute for Great Lakes Research (CIGLR) and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's Great Lakes Environmental Research Lab (NOAA GLERL).
A postdoctoral fellowship is available for a qualified individual to join the Cooperative Institute for Great Lakes Research (CIGLR: https://ciglr.seas.umich.edu/). You will work with the ecosystem modeling team to improve our capacity for integrated Earth system modeling in the Great Lakes region. In particular, you will calibrate and test a three-dimensional hydrodynamic model for Lake Michigan-Huron utilizing the newest version of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's (NOAA) Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory's (GFDL) Modular Ocean Model (MOM6).
American Conservation Experience, a nonprofit Conservation Corps, in partnership with the Pacfish Infish Biological Opinion (PIBO) Monitoring Program, is seeking six Wilderness Aquatic Technician Members to conduct aquatic habitat monitoring on streams located in the Columbia and Missouri river basins. These monitoring efforts are used to help guide management on federal lands to conserve bull trout and anadromous fishes. In this field position, the ACE members will work with Forest Service Fish Biologists and Biological Technicians to monitor watershed conditions on USFS, BLM, and NPS lands. This is accomplished by conducting stream habitat surveys including channel morphology, habitat typing, substrate measurements, large wood surveys, and potentially collecting benthic macroinvertebrates, environmental DNA (eDNA), or identifying invasive species.
The Department of River Ecology and Conservation at Senckenberg in cooperation with the Faculty of Biology at the University of Duisburg-Essen jointly invite applications for a Postdoctoral Researcher (Ecologist) (m/f/d) (full-time / part-time option available). We are looking for an enthusiastic ecologist (m/f/d) with a background in community ecology, macroecology, metacommunities, and/or analysis of ecological time series. The position is partly embedded in two large EU funded projects, namely the eLTER PLUS project: European Long-Term Ecosystem, critical zone and socio-ecological Research Infrastructure PLUS (https://elter-ri.eu/elter-plus) and the MARCO-BOLO project: MARine COastal BiOdiversity Long-term Observations (https://marcobolo-project.eu/).
This natural area manager position will be responsible for the management of 22 stewardship units located along the lower Columbia River and the Long Beach Peninsula totaling approximately 3,700 acres, with sizes of each unit ranging from less than 5 acres to more than 600 acres. These conservation lands are ecologically diverse to include tidal floodplain and interdunal wetlands, riparian corridors, and associated uplands. The coast and estuary natural area manager will be involved directly with the Land Trust’s work in the lower Columbia River conserving and restoring intertidal wetland habitat, re-establishing native vegetation communities, and monitoring the success of these efforts in achieving restoration goals.
The Department of Biological Sciences at Kent State University seeks a full time Senior Research Technician to coordinate wetland restoration monitoring as part of the H2Ohio Wetland Monitoring Program. The technician will contribute to science-based decision making to improve environmental quality by working with a team of academic researchers from the Lake Erie and Aquatic Research Network (LEARN) in partnership with the Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR) and other wetland design and management partners throughout the state of Ohio.
Aquatic Biologist I, Post-fire Aquatic Ecology (two 4-month positions), needed to conduct aquatic ecology surveys on public and private forest lands. Duties include backpack electrofishing, collection of macroinvertebrate and periphyton samples, habitat surveys, and working closely with primary investigators.
The Stream Ecology lab at the Illinois Natural History Survey is seeking up to 7 research technicians to conduct bioassessments of aquatic life in streams and rivers in Illinois. Research technicians will work on a crew of 2 – 5 people assisting Stream Ecologists with field surveys. Field responsibilities include conducting fish surveys in wadeable streams and non-wadeable rivers, collecting macroinvertebrate samples, conducting habitat assessments, and water chemistry testing. When not in the field, research technicians conduct laboratory work including data entry, aging fish, macroinvertebrate sorting, and assistance with current research projects.
The Water Quality & Ecology Research Unit (USDA-ARS) and the US Geological Survey (USGS) Lower Mississippi-Gulf Water Science Center, in association with the Oak Ridge Institute for Science and Education (ORISE), are pleased to announce a postdoctoral research opportunity collaborating with a team of ARS/USGS research scientists to examine stream ecosystem structural and functional responses to field and experimental stressor gradients in Lower Mississippi River Basin (LMRB) streams. This competitive postdoctoral opportunity will be located in the Water Quality & Ecology Research Unit at the US Department of Agriculture, Agricultural Research Service’s National Sedimentation Laboratory in Oxford, Mississippi.
The University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee School of Freshwater Sciences has been conducting research on nearshore benthic ecology in Lake Michigan for more than two decades. Specific research topics include benthic algae ecology, nutrient cycling by invasive dreissenids, nearshore trophic dynamics, community metabolism, and mechanisms responsible for avian botulism outbreaks. We are searching for a Post-Doctoral Associate who can help further this research through analysis of a large, multidisciplinary data set, augmented with continuing field research.
