Sustainability Solutions Initiative Postdoctoral Fellows in The University of Maine

The University of Maine is conducting a search for Sustainability Science Postdoctoral Fellows. Successful candidates will join Maine’s Sustainability Solutions Initiative (SSI) funded by a 5-year, $20 million NSF EPSCoR grant. SSI includes a team of 50+ faculty and 25 doctoral students from a range of disciplines and academic institutions statewide. SSI's research program integrates coupled natural and human systems modeling, stakeholder engagement, and solutions-oriented research activities. Organized under a theme of landscape change, SSI supports multiple research projects focused on urbanization, forest ecosystem management, and climate/energy challenges. A major thrust of SSI is to produce a new generation of scientists equipped to work across disciplinary boundaries and adept at collaborative, problem-solving work that spans research and practice. Tentative start dates range from Oct. 2011 to April 2012. Initial appointments are for a one-year with an opportunity for renewal, contingent on funding.

Responsibilities:

Fellows are expected to participate in ongoing team projects and SSI-wide research activities; core research responsibilities include planning/completion of research tasks, preparation of manuscripts for publication in collaboration with SSI researchers, presentation of research findings at public/professional meetings. Fellows will have opportunities to contribute to development and implementation of SSI curricula and mentoring programs for graduate/undergraduate students.

Qualifications:

A Ph.D. with specialization in biological or earth sciences, communication, engineering, mathematics, natural resource management, public policy, social sciences or a closely related technical/ scientific discipline is required. Preference will be given to candidates with experience working on interdisciplinary research teams.

Applications:

Candidates must demonstrate the capacity to support their research programs, produce high-quality scholarship and publications, and advance the SSI research program.

Detailed information available at http://www.umaine.edu/sustainabilitysolutions. Review of applications begins August 31, 2011. The University of Maine is an equal opportunity/affirmative action employer committed to maintaining an intellectually and culturally diverse faculty and staff.
