新西兰国家水与大气研究所鲸类生态研究博士后职位

NIWA is New Zealand's leading environmental science research institute and the key provider of atmospheric, freshwater and marine research and consultancy services.

We wish to appoint a talented and enthusiastic marine mammal researcher with demonstrated quantitative skills to initially lead a cetacean habitat use modelling project based upon existing sightings data. This project is funded by a combination of internal and external funds and will require establishing strong working relationships with external stakeholders.

You will also work closely with a team undertaking research on the population demographics, foraging ecology, migrations and distribution of a variety of marine megafauna, to develop and lead new research projects with a particular focus on the relationships of cetaceans with their environment and human activities. In addition, you will undertake consultancy work for government agencies and commercial entities, develop new research opportunities and prepare funding proposals. Regular and timely publication of high quality scientific reports and papers is expected.
