Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolKristin Brunk is a conservation-focused postdoctoral scientist based in Oslo with 11 years of field and analytical experience spanning avian ecology, bioacoustics, and wildlife management. She completed a PhD in Wildlife Ecology at UW–Madison as an NSF Graduate Research Fellow and recently held a postdoc at Cornell Lab of Ornithology’s K. Lisa Yang Center for Conservation Bioacoustics. Kristin combines hands-on field work—from remote reef and seabird campaigns to marsh and forest surveys—with quantitative analysis to address how anthropogenic change affects both threatened and common species. Her research aims to produce actionable guidance for managers while also probing foundational behavioral and ecological questions, exemplified by projects on Marbled Murrelets and Steller’s Jays. She is passionate about mentorship and outreach, viewing them as tools to build a more collaborative and diverse conservation community. Less obvious: Kristin’s decade-long trajectory shows a rare blend of remote, high-intensity field leadership and advanced acoustic/analytical skills that make her work both practical for conservation and strong in evidence-driven science.
