Apply to be a postdoctoral scholar to conduct coastal drone research at SAFS
Dr. Corey Garza’s lab at the University of Washington (the Marine Landscape Ecology Lab), seeks to hire a Postdoctoral Scholar in the School of Aquatic and Fishery Sciences (SAFS). The position is supported by internal funding from the School of Aquatic and Fishery Sciences. The candidate hired into this position will have the opportunity to engage in research that utilizes aerial drones to map coastal habitats ranging from the rocky intertidal to kelp forests and statistical modeling to understand the drivers of spatial variation in coastal habitats.
The Marine Landscape Ecology Lab is dedicated to advancing the use of autonomous technologies and spatial analysis to understand the environmental drivers that shape the composition of coastal habitats across multiple scales of organization. Training the next generation of scientists is also a critical focus area of the lab. In particular, reaching out to and providing opportunities to groups that have historically been underrepresented in the sciences is a central activity of the lab. The Marine Landscape Ecology Lab is committed to these goals and supports active participation in broadening participation activities by all members of the lab.
