Hi folks:
Please note that the kind of "biostatistician" we're looking for is a
statistical modeller-- a broad and creative thinker who is interested in
the design & application of novel statistical analyses-- and not simply a
glorified statistical consultant. Inquiries should be made to Terry
([log in to unmask]) or me ([log in to unmask]), or both.
Regards,
Sean

>I am writing to solicit applications for 4 new postdoctoral positions at

>strengths and interests. The successful applicants will be expected to
>publish her or his work in high-quality journals, and to collaborate with
>Centre staff to apply their skills to research problems in coral reef
>biodiversity. We are particularly interested in people with advanced
>training in macroecology, evolutionary biology, biogeography, functional
>biology and paleontology. We also seek a biostatistician who will develop
>new statistical models for use in the study of the distribution, abundance,
>and ecological function of organisms at large scales. To be competitive,
>younger applicants will need to have already published some of the PhD
>results in better journals.
