Research Wildlife Biologist/Ecological Engineer The U.S. Army Engineer Research and Development Center (ERDC) is a world class research organization composed of seven laboratories and over 2,000 employees, which execute more than $1B per year in support of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Department of Defense, and a variety of other customers. The Environmental Laboratory's (EL) 200+ scientists and engineers seek to “provide solutions to tomorrow’s environmental challenges” through a broad array of basic and applied research. Researchers within the Ecological Resources Branch are continually developing new projects that require additional personnel. Thus, this announcement was developed to identify individuals that would potentially be interested in one or both research topics listed below. 1. Research into ecological modeling, ecosystem restoration, watershed management, environmental flow management, hydrologic connectivity, and decision analysis. 2. Research on the ecology and conservation of terrestrial and wetland vertebrates (predominantly birds and bats) In addition to interest in the above research topics, individuals should have excellent written and verbal communication skills to document findings as reports, presentations, and associated correspondence; experience with fieldwork in a variety of environments; and willingness to travel approximately 1 week per month. Experience with quantitative tools, GIS, and programming languages (R, Python, etc.) are desirable, but not required. If interested in learning more about research efforts within the Environmental Laboratory’s Ecological Resources Branch, send a resume or CV to Dr. Eric Britzke ([log in to unmask]).
