Postdoctoral Researcher in Caribou Movement Modeling
The Wilderness Society is hiring a one-year postdoctoral researcher / ecological modeling specialist to advance research on caribou responses to roads in the Arctic.
The postdoctoral researcher will work with Dr. Tim Fullman and The Wilderness Society Science Team, as well as an international group of government, non-profit, and academic collaborators, to develop a data-based simulation model of road effects on caribou movement, distribution, and fitness.
The model will be parameterized where possible from existing knowledge, account for uncertainty, and be adaptable to refinement and expansion as additional information becomes available. The successful candidate will conduct analyses with collaborators, publish findings in peer-reviewed scientific papers, and help communicate research findings through interactive tools and outreach to government agencies, Indigenous partners, elected officials, conservation groups, and other audiences.
The salary range for this position is USD 60,000–75,000, depending on experience and location. The position is for one year and can be based at a TWS office where applicable or conducted remotely from eligible U.S. states. Applicants must already be authorized to work in the United States.
Applications are due by July 19, 2026. Applicants should submit a cover letter and CV through the application portal:
