[ECOLOG-L] Research Experience for Undergraduates in Stream Eco logy – Michigan Tech, Summer 2018

2018-02-22 Thread Amy Marcarelli
*Research Experience for Undergraduates in Stream Ecology – Michigan Tech,
Summer 2018*

The Marcarelli Aquatic Ecosystem Ecology Lab is searching for a motivated
student in Ecology, Biology, or Environmental Science for a NSF Research
Experience for Undergraduates (REU) position. The student will work closely
with Dr. Marcarelli and her graduate students to study the balance between
nitrogen fixation and denitrification in streams and rivers.  The REU
student will design a research project, conduct field work, analyze samples
and data, and synthesize findings related to the core questions of this
project:

1. How do nitrogen cycle processes co-exist in small streams, large rivers,
and adjacent wetlands?

2. How does nutrient enrichment shift the balance among nitrogen cycle
processes?

3. How does community composition of algae and microbes relate to rates of
nitrogen cycle processes?

 There will be opportunities to conduct field work in the Upper Peninsula
of Michigan, participate in undergraduate research workshops, and present
research results to the Michigan Tech community and possibly at a national
conference.

The candidate must be a citizen or permanent resident of the United States
and enrolled as an undergraduate student in Fall 2018.  The REU is expected
to last 10 weeks (start/end date negotiable but should occur between June 1
and August 31 2018) with a total stipend of $5,000 and an additional $1,000
to offset the cost of summer lodging, which is available on campus at
Michigan Tech.

To apply, please submit a cover letter (include a statement of interest,
future plans, confirmation of eligibility, and preferred start/end dates),
an up-to-date CV or resume, a recent transcript (unofficial is fine), and
names and contact information for two references to Dr. Amy Marcarelli (
ammar...@mtu.edu). Application review will begin immediately and continue
until position is filled.

[ECOLOG-L] Position Advertisement - Society for Freshwater Science Executive Director

2017-04-13 Thread Amy Marcarelli
*SOCIETY FOR FRESHWATER SCIENCE*

*Position Advertisement - SFS Executive Director*

The Society for Freshwater Science (SFS) is seeking a part-time Executive
Director to assist with Society operations, management and development. The
Executive Director will serve and promote the interests of the members of
the Society and as such will initiate, oversee, coordinate, and organize
efforts to realize the Society’s mission. They will be guided by directives
of the Board of Directors , and will report to the Board. The position has
been approved for a 2-year term, with the option to renew the position in
subsequent years dependent on performance and society finances.

ORGANIZATION BACKGROUND:

SFS is an international scientific organization whose purpose is to promote
further understanding of freshwater ecosystems (rivers, streams, lakes,
reservoirs, and estuaries) and ecosystems at the interface between aquatic
and terrestrial habitats (wetlands, bogs, fens, riparian forests and
grasslands). The society fosters exchange of scientific information among
the membership, and with other professional societies, resource managers,
policy makers, educators, and the public. Society members study a range of
topics, including genetics, community structure of freshwater organisms,
freshwater ecosystem function, physical processes that affect freshwaters,
and linkages between freshwater ecosystems and surrounding landscapes.
Applied aspects of our science include habitat and water quality
assessment, conservation, fisheries and invasive species management,
integrated water resource management, and restoration.

SFS is best known for its highly rated researc h journal ( Freshwater
Science),the quality of our annual meetings, and the exposure and
opportunities afforded to students. However, the society also supports
increasingly important programs in public education, outreach and public
policy. It strives to encourage student participation and to increase
opportunities for under-represented groups in the aquatic sciences.

The Executive Director’s general responsibilities will include:

● Providing liaison and support between members, contractors and outside
interests to the Executive Committee (ExComm) and the Board of Directors
(BoD).
● Preparing and implementing a development plan for the Society in
conjunction with the Society President and members of the SFS Sponsorship
and Development committee.
● Managing Society and Journal finances and prepare quarterly and annual
financial reports
● Working with the BoD to adaptively implement the Society’s strategic
plan. Update the Board as to progress toward goals set by the strategic
plan. *A copy of the strategic plan can be requested from current SFS
President Emily Bernhardt (emily.bernha...@duke.edu
)*

PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE/QUALIFICATIONS

We seek someone who is organized, independent, and responsive, and works
well with diverse constituencies. Should have organizational experience
such as overseeing budgets, fund-raising, preparing reports, preparing and
meeting timetables, and running committees. Experience in the functioning
of non-profit scholarly societies and proficiency in the use of social
media and web content would be assets.

APPLICATION PROCESS

Please provide a CV, a cover letter containing 1) a statement of
qualifications as it pertains to the job description, 2) a vision statement
for the position; 3) the names and addresses of three persons who can
provide references. Application review will begin on May 1st and will
continue until position is filled. Successful applicants will be invited to
interview with the SFS Board of Directors in June 2017.

COMPENSATION

The successful applicant will b e hired for 15-20 hours per week as a
contract employee, with initial annual salary capped at $25,000.
Reimbursement of allowable expenses (including travel costs for attendance
at the annual meeting) is available up to a total of $3,000. It is our hope
and intention that successful development activities may lead to an
increase in the responsibilities and compensation for the Executive
Director.

Applications, as well as any requests for additional information, should be
