• Develop practical advanced statistical modeling tools for evaluation of management actions, determining optimal management strategies, and improving our understanding of ecological factors.
• Manage independently or in consultation with supervisor multiple projects related to wildlife disease and damage research and management.
• Develop and contribute ideas that will establish new research directions within the scope of wildlife disease.
• Collaborate with Wildlife Services operations to: understand the challenges of wildlife disease, provide evaluation of outcomes, suggest practical guidelines for assessments.
• Work closely with national program leaders to communicate progress and results which will be formally reported in the form of manuscripts to peer-reviewed journals.
