Work will predominantly occur in the office, with occasional fieldwork and travel. Data management tasks will include the compilation and preparation of datasets using SQL Server, Access, Excel, R, and other tools. Data analyses will involve mark-recapture survival modelling, spatially explicit analyses, and multivariate analyses using both Bayesian and frequentist statistical approaches. Technical writing will include the preparation of scientific reports, research grants, peer-reviewed manuscripts, and oral presentations to clients, colleagues, and the public alike.
