Position in Aquatic Ecosystem Science As the first in an anticipated series of new hires, the Cary Institute of Ecosystem Studies (formerly the Institute of Ecosystem Studies) seeks to hire an aquatic ecologist at the level of Assistant or Associate Scientist. Candidates should have a history of publication in top scientific journals and a proven track record in securing research funding. The new hire will be expected to interact strongly with our largely ecosystem-oriented current staff (http://www.caryinstitute.org/science- program/our-scientists).
Ecologists studying the factors influencing persistence of aquatic biodiversity, biogeochemical function and/or management of aquatic ecosystems in the face of climate change, watershed and urban development, and species invasions are particularly encouraged to apply. The Cary Institute has a tradition of encouraging long-term studies and we expect the successful candidate to strengthen the Institute in one or more of the following thematic areas: large-river ecology, urban ecosystems, biogeochemistry and land-water interactions. The Cary Institute, an independent research and education organization, is located on a 2000-acre (810 hectare) research forest in the Hudson River Valley of New York. Over 50 collaborating Ph. D. scientists, and 14 full time scientists, investigate the functioning of all kinds of ecosystems (including forests, fresh waters, and cities) and human interactions with these ecosystems. Institute scientists often are actively involved in outreach, management, and policy activities to apply their science to the real world. We seek individuals who can join this team and establish interdisciplinary collaborations that extend the Institute’s work. Visit us at: http://www.caryinstitute.org We will begin to review applications for these positions on 1 February 2015, with the anticipation of a start date early in 2016. To apply, please visit www.caryinstitute org and complete the online application available under the “Jobs” section. Please include your curriculum vitae, statement of research interests and goals, and the names and full contact information of three professional references. Please reference Job Code 14025-I in your correspondence. Candidates must be able to work in the U.S. The Cary Institute of Ecosystem Studies is an equal opportunity/affirmative action employer. Minorities, Females, Veterans and the Disabled are encouraged to apply.
