Postdoctoral Research Associate

Dear PNW CESU partners,

The University of Montana invites applications for a *Grand Teton Wildlife
Connectivity Modeling* *Postdoctoral Research Associate.* This two-year
postdoctoral project will be conducted through the Montana Cooperative
Wildlife Research Unit (U.S. Geological Survey) at the University of
Montana (UM) in close collaboration with the National Park Service (NPS),
including project partners at Grand Teton National Park (GRTE), the NPS
Biological Resources Division, and the NPS Greater Yellowstone Inventory
and Monitoring Network.
The importance of large, connected landscapes to achieving sustained
ecological health is increasingly apparent. Habitat loss and fragmentation
are often primary threats to species facing declines and extirpations
nationally and globally. The effects of habitat loss and fragmentation are
exacerbated by other threats such as climate change, invasive species,
disease, and over harvest. As such, the NPS requires tools and approaches
to ensure protection of biodiverse areas and to facilitate daily, seasonal,
and life cycle movements of wildlife species both within and beyond park
boundaries.
This project will develop tools and approaches to inform local level
management (e.g., visitor use planning, transportation planning,
construction activities, etc.) while also linking to broader conservation
actions across the larger landscape. Grand Teton National Park will serve
as our pilot NPS unit. The project will seek to produce foundational
spatial products for GRTE along with a template for how this general
approach can be implemented across NPS units. Specifically, the project
will: 1) review methods and approaches for developing resource maps for
GRTE, with a focus on areas of high biodiversity and ecological importance
for connectivity; 2) delineate and compile appropriate data; 3) develop
spatial models and assess model fit; and 4) develop workflows and
documentation that support like product development for additional NPS
units. Project products will be used to inform park planning and identify
areas for cross-jurisdictional wildlife management and habitat
conservation.
Position is full-time, 1.0 FTE, Letter of Appointment (target start date
between February and June 2025) and includes a comprehensive and
competitive benefits package including insurance package, mandatory
retirement plan, partial tuition waiver, and wellness program.
Salary for this position is $75,000 per year commensurate with
qualifications.

The park’s point of contact for this position is Yvette Converse (

Teton.
Best of luck!
