Postdoc Associate: Forecasting changes in avian biodiversity

[cooch]

The Davis Global Biodiversity and Ecoinformatics lab at Cornell University seeks a Postdoctoral Associate with experience in statistical modeling, who is also interested in or has experience with species distribution modeling, climate data analysis, and natural resource decision-making. The successful candidate will use data from eBird and structured monitoring programs to identify priority areas for migratory forest birds through the end of the century by forecasting species’ responses to projected climate and land-use/land-cover change under multiple socio-climatic scenarios. The specific focus of this project will be providing external management agencies with robust, high-resolution information on the factors potentially impacting population persistence, which they will then use to make more effective decisions regarding the long-term protection for migratory species. As such, the successful candidate will work closely with researchers both at Cornell and in partner organizations, gaining valuable experience working on a large-scale, multi-sectoral problem.

In addition to external partners, the postdoctoral associate will be working closely with scientists in the Conservation Science and eBird Status and Trends teams at the Cornell Lab of Ornithology.
