The Project The Salmon Watersheds Lab (www.jonwmoore.org) and collaborators at Simon Fraser University (SFU) are currently seeking a Postdoctoral fellow to work on a project entitled “Landslide Impact on Flow Dynamics, Fish Migration and Genetics of Fraser River Salmon”. The successful candidate will be part of an inter-disciplinary team that aims to understand the impacts of the 2018 Big Bar Landslide on channel morphology, flow dynamics, fish migration, and the genetics of Fraser River Salmon. The natural landslide blocked the Fraser River to salmon passage, devastating salmon runs seeking to return to the Northern Basin. The project is led by a large group of multi-disciplinary investigators from Simon Fraser University, […]
