Positions at the Alaska Science Center

Post-Doc Research Opportunity

The objective to be achieved by research under this Opportunity is the development of a bioenergetics model to estimate the food requirements for Pacific walruses (Odobenus rosmarus divergens) of different ages and sex classes by time of year. In concert with the overall walrus research program at the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), this baseline bioenergetics model for the Pacific walrus will then be linked to models of sea ice and benthic prey to determine how changes in diet and sea-ice coverage will affect the energy requirements, life history parameters, and ultimately population dynamics of Pacific walrus.
