   intro_statements:
   - Matthew Gould is an ecologist whose research quantifies the demographic and
     genetic response of large carnivores to an ever-changing landscape to help inform
     their conservation and management.

   personal_statement: Matthew Gould conducts research on 1) grizzly and black bear
     ecology and management, 2) demographic modeling to inform carnivore conservation
     and management, 3) conservation genetics, and 4) wildlife-habitat relationships.
     Matthew started his wildlife career working for the Cabinet/Yaak Ecosystem Grizzly
     Bear Program in northwest Montana.
   professional_experience:
   - Matthew is a biologist with the USGS Northern Rocky Mountain Science Center
     and is part of the Interagency Grizzly Bear Study Team, a group of biologists
     responsible for long-term monitoring and research efforts on grizzly bears in
     the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem.
   - Previously, Matthew was a postdoctoral research scientist at New Mexico State
     University and, in conjunction with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service National
     Raptor Program, used Bayesian integrated population models and collision risk
     models to better understand raptor populations across North America.
   - In the past, Matthew has collaborated with researchers to estimate demographic
     and genetic parameters for the American black bear, mountain lion, and American
     badger.
