Postdoc Position in USA, Davies Lab, Harvard University

Designation/Position-  Postdoc Position in USA

Davies Lab, Harvard University, USA invites application for Postdoc Position in USA from eligible and interested candidates

About-  A key component of research group work investigates how global change, including climate and land-use change, alter animal-driven processes and influence the direction of their effects. We integrate field measurements, GPS telemetry, and remote sensing products (including LiDAR, hyperspectral, and satellite data) to answer questions ranging from the role of animals in shaping vegetation and modifying nutrient cycles, to how land-use changes that alter habitat heterogeneity affect animal behavior and subsequent ecosystem impact. 

Research/Job Area- Ecology, zoology, environmental science, plant science, remote sensing or a related field

Project Title – Remote Sensing for Animal Ecology

Location- Harvard University, USA

Eligibility/Qualification–

• PhD in ecology, zoology, environmental science, plant science, remote sensing or a related field by the time of appointment
• A solid track record of scientific publications
• Demonstrable expertise in processing LiDAR data
• Coding fluency in either Python or R, and familiarity with both, comfortable operating directly from the UNIX command line
• Familiarity with QGIS, ArcGIS, ENVI and/or Google Earth Engine
• Willingness to travel internationally, sometimes to remote locations

Job/Position Description- 

Research group is seeking a Postdoctoral Fellow to join the Davies Lab in the Department of Organismic and Evolutionary Biology at Harvard University.

The Fellow will help design and execute research on animal ecology at landscape scales using a combination of advanced remote sensing techniques and animal data of various kinds (e.g. field surveys, GPS telemetry and manipulation experiments).

The research will specifically focus on using Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) data to understand the role of animals in shaping African savanna landscapes.

LiDAR, optical, and thermal sensor data will be provided from unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) surveys, which the Fellow will have the opportunity to participate in.

The Fellow will be expected to have the technical expertise to process these raw data streams to ecologically useful forms to support their research, as well as the Davies Lab more broadly.

The Fellow should therefore have expertise in managing remotely sensed data, as well as a good understanding of its application to ecology.

Experience in terrestrial, animal and/or savanna ecology will be an advantage.

How to Apply- Please submit the following materials through the ARIeS portal.

1. Cover letter outlining your interests and suitability for the position
2. Curriculum Vitae
3. PDFs of up to three published papers
5. Names and contact information of three references

Last Date for Apply– Application review will begin October 15th and continue until the position is filled.
