Research Associate in Mathematical Ecology
2 weeks ago
**Job Purpose**
We are seeking a highly motivated postdoctoral associate to develop a mathematical framework able to model the population dynamics of migratory wildebeest in Serengeti National Park, Tanzania in relation to increased human activity and environmental disturbance.
The successful applicant will make a leading contribution to the NERC funded project titled “Revealing the hidden effects of anthropogenic disturbance on the spatiotemporal dynamics of animal populations”, working with Prof. Colin Torney, Prof. Grant Hopcraft, and Prof. Juan Morales at the University of Glasgow. The aim of this project is to relate empirical individual-based movement, activity, and physiology data to population responses, particularly to meet the challenges in evaluating scenarios of different climate, management, or intervention strategies. The post holder will employ a combination of mathematical modelling and data analysis techniques in order to evaluate future and current population-level response to environmental change. We are looking for someone with expertise in one or several of the following; integral projection models, movement ecology, population ecology, machine learning, or animal-borne telemetry.
