Future opportunities: short-term contract analyses for CWS

[Adam Smith]

The Canadian Wildlife Service (CWS) frequently needs skilled analysts to conduct short-term, contract-based, analyses of avian monitoring data. These short-term contracts have relatively small budgets (<22,000$ CDN per project) and hence are not advertised through our standard competitive bidding process.

We most often require contractors with expertise modeling animal abundance in space and time, particularly in a hierarchical Bayesian framework, similar to that currently used for BBS. In addition, expertise in occupancy and/or demographic models is often relevant.

If you are interested in possible sporadic, short-term contract work, please send a 1-paragraph summary of your skills and interests, along with a copy of your CV to:
