- Expertise in scientific software development in R, Bayesian statistics, species distribution modelling, and stochastic demography is a plus.
- Experience with the Stan programming language is welcomed.
- Use of high-performance computing clusters is required.
Job Description:
- Conduct computational and statistical analysis of ecological data and models.
- Improve understanding of how climatic variability influences species geographic ranges.
- Incorporate demography and climatic variability into species distribution models.
- Collaborate with an interdisciplinary team including Reuman, Emilio Berti, Town Peterson, Jorge Soberon, and several PhD students.
- Research will cover many taxonomic groups at large spatial scales.
