Dear Colleagues -
Hello. Please send this postdoc announcement to any potential applicants
and relevant networks. A hard copy of the position announcement is also
attached. Thank you.
Sincerely,
Julia
*Postdoctoral Fellow in Mountain Social-Ecological Systems Modeling*
Natural Resource Ecology Laboratory and Department of Ecosystem Science &
Sustainability
Colorado State University
The Natural Resource Ecology Laboratory and Department of Ecosystem Science
& Sustainability at Colorado State University seek candidates for a
postdoctoral fellow position for synthesis and modeling of mountain
social-ecological systems as part of a NSF-funded research coordination
network (RCN). The RCN goals are to (1) expand an international network of
linked mountain biophysical and social science researchers and diverse
stakeholders; (2) explore and evaluate transdisciplinary modeling
frameworks for mountain social-ecological systems; and (3) promote
transdisciplinary approaches linking science with policy and practice. The
project involves developing and applying geospatial social-ecological
datasets and participatory models and conducting synthesis across diverse
mountain social-ecological systems. The project is led by Julia Klein
(CSU), Anne Nolin (Oregon State University), Catherine Tucker (University
of Florida), Robin Reid (Colorado State University) in collaboration with
Adrienne Grêt-Regamey (ETH, Switzerland), Sandra Lavorel (CNRS, France),
Birgit Müller (Helmholtz Centre for Environmental Research) and colleagues
from the Mountain Sentinels Collaborative Network (mountainsentinels.org).
The successful candidate will build and synthesize GIS databases,
co-develop future scenarios, design and test social-ecological models
across a range of mountain contexts, write synthesis papers and develop
visualization tools for relevant stakeholders. The postdoctoral fellow
will also develop original research questions related to the project. Travel
to, leadership and organization of network workshops and meetings is
required.
*Required Qualifications:* Candidates must demonstrate experience and
expertise in social-ecological systems modeling; quantitative analyses; and
geographic information systems. Evidence of strong organizational and
communication skills (both oral and written) is required.
*Desired Qualifications:*
Candidates should exhibit a strong ability to collaborate with an
international, transdisciplinary team. Prior experience with stakeholder
engagement and transdisciplinary processes is desired as is programming and
modeling GIS skills. Familiarity with Bayesian modeling, agent-based or
agent functional-based modeling, and participatory modeling is also
helpful. Experience in mountain studies is beneficial. A demonstrated
record of scholarship and capacity for successful collaborations is
valuable. Interest in novel new media tools and innovative ways to
communicate results, especially from science and stakeholder perspectives,
will also advance network goals.
Salary Range: Salary is commensurate with experience. The initial
appointment will be for a one-year period, with renewal contingent on
satisfactory progress and funding.
A full description of benefits is available at
http://www.hrs.colostate.edu/benefits/. To apply, submit cover letter,
curriculum vitae, and names and contact information for three references at
this website: http://jobs.colostate.edu/postings/18505. References will
not be contacted without prior approval. For full consideration, please
apply by April 1, 2016.
