Salary range $35,000 to $40,000
There is an opportunity for a recent PhD graduate in ecology with a
background in modelling to work on the development of dynamic model that will
be used to simulate how tundra and treeline ecosystems may react to various
climate change
scenarios. A background in mathematical modelling, programming and GIS is
required. In addition, some familiarity with AI techniques such as
neural networks and knowledge based systems would be an asset. The successful
candidate would be working with the Labrador Highlands Research Group (LHRG)
