POSTDOCTORAL POSITION AT RUTGERS
MATHEMATICAL MODELING OF OYSTER AND SURF CLAM POPULATIONS
A postdoctoral position is available immediately to participate in
modeling of the population dynamics and genetics of oysters and surf
clams. Funding is from the NSF Dynamics of Coupled Natural and Human
Systems and the Ecology of Infectious Disease Program. The modeling
effort is directed at (1) the interaction of phenotype and genotype in
determining larval growth and survival, (2) the investigation of the
mechanisms for the development of disease resistance in natural
populations of shellfish, and (3) range shifts and global warming.
Target species are oysters (Crassostrea virginica) and surf clams (Spisula solidissima).
The projects are a multidisciplinary program including participants
from Rutgers University, Old Dominion University, Virginia Institute of
Marine Science, and University of Southern California. The appointment
