The postdoc will develop status and trends population models integrating existing acoustic data from legacy mobile transects with data collected following NABat acoustic monitoring protocols and environmental covariates that account for large-scale system changes. These models will be used to generate maps of species distributions and evaluate changes in activity of bat species in White-Nose Syndrome (WNS)-free regions.

Summer Field Technician
University of Washington- Seattle

Starting June 2019, the hydro-biogeochemistry group at the University of Washington in Seattle has an opening for a summer field technician. The technician will be working at two field sites located in Alaska — one in Fairbanks and one in Kenai — on a project investigating methane production and methane oxidation in permafrost thaw bogs. The project is focused on advancing understanding of how permafrost landscapes in Northern latitudes affect and are affected by climatic change. The site in Fairbanks is in the Bonanza Creek LTER research forest and is part of the Alaska Peatland Experiment (APEX). The site in Kenai is located in the Kenai National Wildlife Refuge. The technician will live in Fairbanks over the summer and will travel back and forth to the two field sites by car. They will assist the field efforts of a graduate student researcher working at the two sites; will be responsible for making various routine measurements (e.g., gas flux, well elevations, water levels, active layer depth), and overseeing performance and troubleshooting (if needed) of an automated belowground root imaging and oxygen sensor network; and will be expected to backpack heavy loads of equipment into the site (~1 mile distance).
