Postdoctoral Research Associate in Marine Ecosystem-Based Management
The Center for Environmental Studies, Brown University
Brown University invites applications for a postdoctoral research associate. Heather Leslie at Brown University and Lisa Campbell at Duke University are offering a postdoctoral research associate position associated with a project evaluating the success of marine ecosystem based management (EBM) projects in the US, Mexico, and Western Pacific. The research focus is on the social, cultural, institutional and economic context in which marine ecosystem-based management occurs, and how to effectively measure both social and ecological outcomes associated with marine EBM.
We are looking for candidates with interdisciplinary interests who will compliment our existing skill sets. Social scientists from a variety of disciplines are encouraged to apply (e.g. with a PhD geography, sociology, anthropology, economics, environmental studies), as are ecologists and other natural scientists with appropriate research experience. Candidates should have strong interpersonal skills, and familiarity with marine systems would be an asset.
The position is based at Brown University's Center for Environmental Studies, with travel required to both domestic and international field sites and collaborative meetings. The position is funded for 12 months, with the possibility for extension. Start date is negotiable, but ideally in early 2009.
Candidates should send a letter of application, a curriculum vitae, and three letters of recommendation. Review of applications will begin on November 24 and will continue until the position is filled or closed. For further information email Heather_Leslie@ brown.edu.
Applications may be submitted by email to Patti_Caton@ brown.edu.
Brown University is an EEO/AA employer. Minorities and women are encouraged to apply.
