Researcher and/or educator excited about NEON and with a strong drive to serve a diverse and interdisciplinary user community
NEON community, from early career (post-doc) to emeritus
Working with NEON data, samples, online resources, or infrastructure in research or education
Affiliated with a US institution from any sector, including US-affiliated researchers who are currently working or studying abroad

Application Process, Deadline, and Target Dates

Please review the tentative dates below for cohort-based events. Preparation for and participation in each workshop event is a requirement of joining the program to help ensure building a strong and engaged cohort that includes each member’s perspective. If these dates might work for you, complete an online application here. The application consists of general information about you, a few short answer questions, and a CV upload. Applications must be submitted by 11:59PM PT on August 31, 2021.

Applications will be evaluated by the following criteria - each is given equal weight by the review committee:

Applicant qualifications, background, and experience - program discussions and outcomes will benefit from participants that reflect diverse expertise, institutions, perspectives, ethnicity, gender, ability, and career stage.
Alignment of the applicant’s specific career objectives with the NEON program.

Selected candidates will be notified by email in mid-September 2021.

Dates

ESA 2021 Annual Meeting theme: Vital Connections in Ecology

"Ecologists seek to understand the vital connections between plants and animals and the world around them. Collectively, research shows that ecological connections are critical for maintaining ecosystem function and resilience in the face of change. Similarly, human connections are vital for science: connections between mentors, students, and collaborators, connections with community stakeholders, and connections with our friends and family. During times of crisis, such as the recent COVID-19 global pandemic, ecologists have found novel ways to create and maintain vital human connections while continuing to make breakthroughs in understanding the importance of ecological connections." - Ecological Society of America

United States

Posting Title: Postdoctoral Researcher �� Phenological Forecasting
Location: initially remote, location TBD
Position Type: Regular
Hours Per Week: 40
Anticipated Start Date: October 1, 2020 (12 �� 24 months of funding)

Job Description:

Applicants are invited to apply for a postdoctoral position to develop phenological models in support of ongoing efforts to create a continental-scale forecast of mosquito activity. This project includes (1) developing predictive models of seasonality of mosquito species representative of specific life-history strategies and (2) implementing these models to generate real-time and short-term forecasts of mosquito activity as well as predictions of future changes in seasonal patterns of mosquito activity. This position is supported through funding from a US Geological Service Powell Center grant.

See full listing on https://usanpn.org/MosquitoPostDoc

Job responsibilities include the following:

Integrate and synthesize large-scale mosquito monitoring datasets with environmental data (temperature, rainfall, hydrology) and the extensive literature on mosquito life-history-climate functional responses to model specific phenometrics (to be selected in conjunction with stakeholder communities and working group).
Generate predictive relationships between climate variability and mosquito phenology at a macro-ecological scale.
Implement these models to generate real-time and short-term forecasts of mosquito activity as well as predictions of future changes in seasonal patterns of mosquito activity.
Effectively communicate and interact with scientists to define the requirements of the simulations and models. Obtain necessary input data for simulations and provide meaningful interpretation of modeling results to guide development of a continental-scale forecast of mosquito phenology.
Disseminate knowledge through publications in technical journals and presentations at conferences, symposia, and review meetings. Provide reports on technical work and input to peer-reviewed publications and presentations.
Collaborate with a working group and project investigators to plan and design projects, determine technical objectives, and interact with and provide regular project reports to a government client (USGS Powell Center).
Organize and facilitate two USGS Powell Center workshops in collaboration with working group leads

Basic Qualifications:

Must be a Ph. D. graduate in Ecology, Bioinformatics, Statistics, Applied Math, or a related field.

Additional Required Qualifications:

A strong publication record in the peer-reviewed scientific literature, with at least one first author publication
Demonstrated experience communicating results at national or international conferences
Ability to work independently and in teams to deliver high-quality results within aggressive timelines.
Strong background in ecological forecasting; fluent in numerical methods, statistics, and/or Bayesian analysis
Familiarity with model development and/or population modelling
Fluency in Python or R

Preferred Qualifications

Experience with high performance and/or cloud computing, linux shells, and GPU usage
Experience with collaborative coding and version control systems (e.g. GitHub)
Development of end-user applications of models
Exposure to phenological data
Familiarity with integrating disparate datasets that collected by variety of agencies

2020 SESYNC Pursuit Proposal Deadline

Submit Proposals for Collaborative Team-based Synthesis Research with SESYNC

The National Socio-Environmental Synthesis Center (SESYNC) announces its Spring 2020 Request for Proposals for collaborative team-based research projects that synthesize existing data, methods, theories, and tools to address a pressing socio-environmental problem. The request includes a research topic focused on NEON-enabled Socio-Environmental Synthesis. Proposals are due March 30, 2020 at 5 p.m. ET.

NEON-Enabled Socio-Environmental Synthesis Topic Details:

Research teams should use NEON data to develop research questions and methods for results that will be applicable across multiple places and scales. In particular, research teams should use NEON data to conduct novel, actionable research that employ synthesis methodologies in new ways. ��

While the majority of NEON sites are remote from human settlements, many sites experience direct or indirect human impacts, and data from these sites could be used to understand socio-environmental systems. Furthermore, data collected by the Airborne Observation Platform (AOP) are more extensive than the NEON sites themselves, include diverse and intensive land-use, and might be ideally suited for scaling up from NEON sites to regional and national scales. For example, socio-environmental synthesis questions might examine (1) the effects of climate change on species of ethnobotanical interest; (2) processes controlling the spread of vector-borne disease; or (3) the supply of ecosystem services, perhaps in response to changes in land use or natural disasters such as hurricanes, floods, and wildfires. An example of recent efforts at SESYNC to motivate syntheses using NEON data are available��here.

Project Eligibility:

Teams should include 10-12 members
Teams should hold 3 meetings of 3-5 days each over the course of 12 months in Annapolis, MD
Projects should have two PIs, with one PI based at a US institution
Graduate students cannot apply as PIs, but can participate on teams
The project cannot involve the collection of new empirical data

Application Details:

Those interested in this request for proposal are encouraged to discuss their ideas with SESYNC prior to developing their proposal and submitting their application. Contact [email protected]" rel="noreferrer noopener" target="_blank">[email protected]�� to solicit feedback or arrange a conversation. For more information about how to apply, please see the SESYNC website.

The Deadline for Proposal Submissions is March 30, 2020 at 5 p.m. ET
