The Postdoctoral Fellow provides a range of services, including assisting with, and conducting research under the lead researchers’ direction at the Quesnel River Research Centre in Likely, BC. This includes working on a number of ongoing and possible research projects, including, but not limited to understanding the effects of climate change on salmon ecosystems and the direct effects of increasing water temperatures and wildfire-contaminated spawning habitat on interior Pacific salmon early life stages, and other duties as needed. The position is part of a large, collaborative research project evaluating flood, fire and increasing temperature risks posed to upper Fraser watershed salmon stocks in a rapidly changing climate. The role of the Postdoctoral Fellow will be to determine the effects of increasing water temperatures and wildfirecontaminated spawning habitat on interior Pacific salmon early life stages. The larger project seeks to define the influences of environmental change on sustaining salmonid populations within Quesnel Lake and large lakes in the region using a multidisciplinary approach that links detailed process measurements with integrated hydrometeorological and physical lake models
