Postdoctoral Position: Research Associate. Modeling the risks of
extinction in endangered species. The general goals of the project include
the development of biologically realistic models of extinction that
incorporate genetics, environmental stochasticity, age structure, and
population subdivision. Some specific goals include the assessment of the
current risks of extinction for various species of fish in the Pacific NW
and the evaluation of the genetic consequences of hatchery populations. An
ability to program in C is essential, and experience with C++ and/or
parallel programming would be useful. The full-time position is available
immediately. Funding is available for one year at $24,000 with a
possibility of renewal. Applications must be postmarked by 9 October 1997.
