Position | Postdoc
Postdoctoral Associate – Wild Animal Welfare Program
The NYU Wild Animal Welfare Program is currently seeking a postdoctoral associate to join

project, called the “Wildlife Inclusive Local Development Lab” (WILD Lab), advances
scientific understanding of urban development’s impacts on wild animal welfare and
develops policy frameworks to improve outcomes for urban wildlife. The postdoctoral
associate will serve as the WILD Lab’s science coordinator, leading empirical research in
collaboration with colleagues in philosophy, law, and policy
