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 (sibert@hawaii.edu) or Dr. Patrick Lehodey at the SPC (PatrickL@spc.int).
