We are looking for enthusiastic, energetic individual with physical and mathematical background. The successful applicant will integrate acoustical, physical and ecological data to develop novel methods for fish identification, investigate spatial organization of fish populations in relation to ambient factors. This information will be used to optimize fisheries management in Lake Kinneret and hence this project has a strong applied perspective. The PostDoc or PhD student will participate in field experiments and lake surveys. This project combines theoretical and applied science and gives an opportunity to join our outstanding multidisciplinary teams across leading Israel universities and IOLR.
