Objet : SESYNC Postdoc Opportunity: spatial modeling of bird habitat responses to forest
management
Application Deadline: Jun 24, 2019
Start Date: Autumn 2019
A two-year postdoctoral position is available to work with Dr. Andrew Elmore and Dr. Matt
Fitzpatrick at the University of Maryland’s National Socio-Environmental Synthesis Center
(SESYNC). The postdoc will lead the development of spatial modeling methods to understand
and predict changes in habitat resulting from forest management practices throughout the
central Appalachian Mountains. The position is ideally suited to researchers with
interests in combining Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) and multispectral timeseries
(Landsat) remote sensing with novel spatial modeling methods to better understand and
forecast how organisms, and birds in particular, respond to changes in forest and
landscape structure.
The postdoctoral researcher will be based with Dr. Andrew Elmore at SESYNC, but will join
a network of collaborators at the Appalachian Laboratory (Dr. Matt Fitzpatrick; spatial
modeling), Indiana University of Pennsylvania (Dr. Jeff Larkin; ornithology), and forest
management agencies throughout the region. The successful candidate will be provided the
opportunity to lead the research project, coordinate collaborations, and publish results.
SESYNC is located in Annapolis, Maryland, and is home to approximately 15 postdoctoral
researchers studying diverse socio-environmental systems. The successful candidate will be
encouraged to become an active member of the SESYNC Postdoctoral community and to
participate in professional development programs offered.
Applications should be received by June 24, 2019, but will be considered until the
position is filled.
