Postdoctoral associate assessing giant petrel energetics, habitat use and trophic ecology (NY)
Brief Description of Duties:
The Postdoctoral Associate will conduct research in the School of Marine and Atmospheric Sciences under the supervision of Principal Investigator, Dr. Lesley Thorne. The selected candidate will work with ecologists at Stony Brook University and with Dr. Richard Phillips at the British Antarctic Survey. We seek an enthusiastic and quantitative researcher to develop a mechanistic model integrating foraging energetics and movement data to assess how wind and sea ice influence giant petrel diet, habitat use, population trends and predation pressure on avian species.
