Post-doc, fisheries/aquatic ecology/statistical ecology — University of Toronto
The Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology at the University of Toronto is seeking a postdoctoral researcher in fisheries / aquatic ecology / statistical ecology. Research will focus on analyzing a large dataset related to the fish community and additional trophic levels, sampled from numerous locations within Lake Erie during the past two decades. This research will be conducted in collaboration between the University of Toronto and the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry. The overall objective is to study the interactions among fish species and their environmental conditions, such as temperature, nutrients, zooplankton and phytoplankton communities in Lake Erie, to develop a better understanding of factors influencing the dynamics and recruitment of commercially important species (walleye, yellow perch, lake whitefish).
