The successful applicant will work at the direction of Dr. Leslie Acton in close collaboration with other project PIs. The selected applicant will oversee, coordinate and conduct empirical research for the creation of an innovative Community Knowledge Collective (CKC) for four New England coastal communities. The CKC will comprise a database of existing and collected knowledge about community health and wellbeing related to climate change impacts and resilience. Responsibilities will include qualitative data collection and analysis (e.g., focus groups, interviews, document collection); large-scale database management; coordination among project PI’s, partners, and communities; coordination of undergraduate student support; as well as collaborating on publication of project-related analyses with the possibility of leading publications if desired. Candidates should demonstrate strong communication skills, experience in engaged research, and an ability to work both independently and collaboratively with groups from diverse backgrounds. Any experience coordinating large databases and/or working as part of a large, interdisciplinary team is a plus. Candidates must hold no less than a Masters degree in a relevant environmental discipline (including but not limited to: geography, urban planning, sociology, anthropology, etc.) and have some experience conducting independent research using qualitative data collection methods to be considered. A PhD is preferred, however. Level of education, years of relevant experience, and familiarity with the research determine the pay rate and will be decided on using an application-to-application basis. Relevant experience may include but isn't limited to relevant research experience, teaching assistantships, internships, residencies, former or current professional duties, and/or other time spent in a related field beyond that of the qualifying masters or doctoral degree. Once the appropriate salary level has been determined, the Research Associate is paid at that level for the entire grant year. Diversity, equity, and inclusion are integral to the commitment of the IBES and University. Accordingly, IBES seeks qualified candidates who can contribute to equity, diversity and inclusion through service, mentorship, teaching and scholarship. Further, the IBES is keenly interested in diversifying and encourages applications from diverse candidates. Qualifications 1.
