Integrated Statistics is looking for a postdoc to work on a joint 
project between scientists at the National Marine Fisheries Service and 
the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution examining the ecology of forage 
species, especially meso-pelagic fishes and euphausiids, at the New 
England continental shelf break and slope. The successful applicant will 
quantify patterns in the abundance and distribution of these taxa in 
relation to environmental conditions (e.g., CTD data, satellite 
observations, climate indices) via statistical analysis and will 
quantify their interaction with higher predators, especially commercial 
fishes, via stomach content data and evacuation rate models. These 
analyses will draw upon multiple existing datasets, including: stomach 
content data collected during stock assessment surveys (1973-present); 
zooplankton net surveys (1977-present); bottom trawl surveys 
(1973-present); and other fishery-independent surveys. This is a 
two-year position and comes with discretionary funds for travel 
($5k/year) and equipment ($2.5k).

Requirements/Education:
- PhD in fish ecology, fisheries oceanography, fisheries, or related field.
- Quantitative background, experience in programming and statistics, 
especially spatial statistics and multivariate analyses (e.g., GLM, GAM).

Location:Woods Hole, MA

Compensation:$50K/year or $24/hour + health, dental, 401K, paid 
vacation, sick and federal holidays.
