Dear Colleagues,
Please share the following information with potential applicants. Many
thanks.
*************************************************
A Ph.D. student or postdoctoral associate is sought to expand
interdisciplinary studies on coupled human and natural systems (e.g.,
ecological and economic effects of natural resource management; effects of
household dynamics on the environment such as biodiversity, landscapes,
and natural resources; environmental effects of economic
globalization; reciprocal interactions between human and natural systems
such as ecosystem services). We are looking for highly motivated
applicants with backgrounds in one or more fields, such as ecology, human
demography, sociology, economics, geography, wildlife biology,
biodiversity conservation, land use and land cover change, policy
analysis, and human-environment interactions. Interests in integrating
natural and social sciences are required. Strong quantitative skills
(e.g., remote sensing, geographic information systems, computer modeling,
mathematics, and/or statistics) are desirable. Stipends/salaries and
benefits are competitive. Start date is negotiable.
Reviews of applications will be conducted periodically and will continue
until the position is filled. Interested individuals are encouraged to
provide the following materials as soon as possible: (1) cover letter
indicating general and specific research interests/experiences,
(2) statement of professional goals (e.g., plans after finishing the
doctoral or postdoctoral training), (3) resume, (4) transcripts, (5) list
of three references (names, email addresses, phone numbers, and postal
addresses), and (6) GRE scores and TOEFL scores (TOEFL scores are required
for applicants whose native language is not English). (Photocopies of
transcripts and GRE/TOEFL scores are okay initially.) Please email, mail,
or fax all application materials to:
