This position is open to U.S. citizens and is funded for 12 months – extensions are dependent upon future funding. The pay rate will be $26.51/hour (taxes are not taken out and will have to be managed by the candidate). Due to the nature of the position, benefits are not available. The candidate must pass a federal background check, a pre-employment physical, and have a clean driving record.

Expectations:

–       Programming and data analysis skills in R

–       Ability to manage/work with big data (genetic and climate)

–       Experience with genetics pipelines/analyses applicable to SNPs, for example: Stacks, ipyrad, structure (or similar), PCA and sPCA, fastsimcoal2, LFMM, Procrustes, etc.

–       Excellent writing skills

–       Ability/willingness to conduct field work under harsh conditions in remote areas

Desired qualifications:

–       Demonstrated ability to publish in peer-reviewed journals

–       Experience constructing species distribution models using current methodologies

–       Knowledge of southwestern U.S. plant communities and natural history

–       Experience with other programming/scripting languages (Python, Perl, C++, shell, etc.)

–       Experience working on the terminal to run programs, including on remote high-performance computing clusters (managed by slurm)

If interested, please submit a cover letter and CV (including contact information for three references) to Rob Massatti (rmassatti@usgs.gov). This position is open until filled.

Please share with undergraduates who would stand to benefit from research experiences in areas related to evolution, including anthropology and paleontology. Students from underrepresented minority groups and/or who have limited research opportunities at their home institution are especially encouraged to apply.

The University of Iowa is offering ten NSF-funded Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) opportunities during the summer of 2020. Research projects span a range of topics, including evolution of behavior, origin of species, cancer evolution, evolution of sex, evo-devo, and paleontology. REU students work on one project, but through interactions with their cohort ultimately receive a broad exposure to evolutionary science. As part of the program, students: receive training in research best practices, participate in career workshops, create a digital exhibit based on their research for the University of Iowa Natural History Museum, and make formal research presentations based on their work. Free housing, a meal allowance, a $6000 stipend, and a travel allowance will be provided to all participants.

The U.S. Geological Survey Leetown Science Center is seeking applicants for

a quantitative biologist to work with a research team on adaptive

management and species assessment projects. One project will be in

collaboration with the Atlantic States Marine Fisheries Commission (ASMFC)

to update the adaptive resource management (ARM) framework for harvest

management of horseshoe crabs while recovering red knot, a federally

threatened species. Updating the ARM framework will focus on 1)

incorporating a catch survey model for estimation and projection of

horseshoe crab abundance into the decision model and 2) converting the

optimization software from ASDP code into MDPsolve, a MATLAB program. The

other project will be in collaboration with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife

Service (USFWS) to develop models and analyses to estimate species current

condition and forecast future condition for endangered species

determinations. The species to be assessed will be identified in

consultation with USFWS.

Qualifications include an MS in biology (or similar field), strong

quantitative skills, broad ecological modeling experience, solid

programming experience, and excellent oral and written communication

skills.  Background in assessment of imperiled and at-risk species, GIS

experience, and a demonstrated record of scientific productivity are

desirable.

To express interest in this position, please send a cover letter and CV to

Dave Smith drsmith@usgs.gov or Dan Fitzgerald dbfitzgerald@usgs.gov.
