<span lang="EN-CA" style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;color:black">We are seeking candidates who will conduct research on the quantification of the impacts of environmental variability, including climate change, on the populations and
distribution of large whale species, using a variety of approaches (sea-going, empirical and modelling) to foster a mechanistic understanding of distributional patterns, demographic variation and foraging ecology. Preference will be given to candidates who
use and develop modern tools and analytical approaches to quantify and predict whale movement, distribution, and oceanographic habitat associations, such as remote sensing and acoustic detection technologies. At-sea experience with physical and biological
oceanographic studies and experience with evidence-based advice to influence conservation policy are assets.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
