The Department of Coastal Studies in East Carolina University (ECU) is seeking a post-doctoral scholar with expertise in agent-based or similar rules-based modeling systems as part of an NSF-funded DISES project investigating ecosystem-based adaptation to extreme storm events in Fiji and Puerto Rico https://www.nsf.gov/awardsearch/showAward?AWD_ID=2206479).

We are seeking a PhD student to join our team of researchers at Auburn University’s College of Forestry, Wildlife and Environment. We are partnering with the Alabama Department of Conservation and Natural Resources (ADCNR) to develop a modeling, monitoring, and decision-analysis framework for improving deer population management throughout the state of Alabama.

MS/PhD position at the Auburn University College of Forestry, Wildlife and Environment. Collaborative research focusing on the use of a published agent-based modeling framework, OvCWD, to inform Chronic wasting disease surveillance and management strategies.

This person will help design, develop, communicate and apply bird sub-models of an Agent Based Model to simulate effects of interacting stressors on least bells vireos (an endangered bird species found in southern California).
