Dear Colleagues 

I'd be most grateful if you would post this information on your
departmental noticeboard or otherwise advertise these two postdoc
positions: 

http://www.soest.hawaii.edu/PFRP/stats/lehodey_postdocs.html 

If you can recommend anyone, particularly for the IBM postdoc, that
would be much appreciated. 

Many thanks & best wishes 

David

                  Announcement for 2 Post-doc positions for project:

     Mixed-Resolution Models for Investigating Individual to Population
Scale Spatial
                                    Dynamics 

The University of Hawaii (Honolulu, HI) and the Secretariat of the
Pacific Community (SPC,
Noumea, New Caledonia) seek two postdoctoral scientists for a 2-year
project funded by the
University's Pelagic Fisheries Research Program. The project addresses
ways to improve upon
two classes of models: Advection Diffusion Reaction Models (ADRMs) and
the Individual Based
Model (IBMs) in modeling the spatial dynamics of tunas and other large
pelagics from individual to
ocean basin scales. Mixed resolution models use a stretched grid system
with greater resolution
at particular locations in the model domain. One position will work on
adapting finite difference
solutions of ADRMs to the new grid and the other position will help
develop the IBM methodology.

One position will be located with PFRP at the University of Hawaii-Manoa
campus; the second
position will be located at SPC, Noumea, New Caledonia. Candidates must
have completed a PhD
in oceanography, marine ecology, fisheries science or other relevant
subject with strong
computational/mathematical emphasis and possess good computer
programming skills, preferably
in C++ and/or FORTRAN. Further details may be obtained from PFRP Program
Manager, Dr. John
Sibert (address@hidden <mailto:address@hidden>) or Dr. Patrick
Lehodey at the SPC
(address@hidden <mailto:address@hidden>).
