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 the PFRP web site
http://imina.soest.hawaii.edu/PFRP/stats/lehodey_postdocs.html, from the
PFRP Program
Manager, Dr. John Sibert ([log in to unmask]), or from Dr. Patrick Lehodey
at the SPC ([log in to unmask]).
