PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The successful candidate will work on a US Forest Service-funded, but multi-partner, project that involves the GPS-tagging of California spotted owls across a range of landownerships in the Sierra Nevada. The ultimate objective of this project is to link owl foraging information with a variety of spatially-explicit vegetation datasets to develop scientifically based approaches for maintaining viable owl populations and restoring the resilience of Sierra Nevada forests. The post-doc’s primary responsibility will be analyzing owl locational and movement data in relation to, for example, LiDAR and other remotely sensed data. The post-doc will spend approximately 1 month in the field per year contributing to data collection. The successful applicant will also work with t
