[ECOLOG-L] Two Postdoc Positions in Biodiversity Informatics at Arizona State University
The Biodiversity Knowledge Integration Center (BioKIC) at Arizona State University (ASU) invites applications for two postdoctoral research scholar positions in biodiversity informatics. The positions are part of a new Biodiversity Data Science Initiative launched at ASU and led by Beckett Sterner and Nico Franz. The initiative will focus on building an innovative web platform that leverages theoretical advancements and prototype software for taxonomic concept alignment (https://doi.org/10.1093/sysbio/syw023), with the goal to establish a scalable taxonomic intelligence service that will carry value for scientific audiences, science publishers, government agencies, and environmental consulting firms. The platform will accelerate the growth of high-quality, reproducible biological data by driving the adoption of taxonomic intelligence metadata in scientific datasets and journals. Position 1 ad: https://sols.asu.edu/sites/default/files/job_12575.pdf Position 2 ad: https://sols.asu.edu/sites/default/files/job_12643.pdf We are committed to open science and an inclusive, equitable, and team-oriented work environment that promotes the candidate's career and personal advancement. The Biodiversity Data Science Initiative is located within the School of Life Sciences and Natural History Collections at Arizona State University. This setting offers a supportive and stimulating environment, with a diverse collection of faculty with expertise across the life and computational sciences, as well as access to excellent academic and computing resources. The Initiative is further supported by faculty from ASU's School of Computing, Informatics, and Decision Systems Engineering and external experts in data science for systematic biology. In addition, the postdoctoral researcher will be able to take advantage of multiple seminar series and a large community of faculty, postdocs, and students. Arizona State University offers a rich environment for early-career researchers and a wide range of support programs for postdocs. Exploratory e-mail inquiries are strongly encouraged. Interested applicants should send a one-page research statement, clearly indicating their qualifications and motivation to join the project, Curriculum Vitae, and contact information for three references to nico.fr...@asu.edu and bster...@asu.edu. The review of applications is rolling until the search is closed. The start date is flexible, with a preference for January 1, 2019. Salary is commensurate with experience, with a range of $55,000 to 75,000 annually, plus ASU benefits, for exceptionally well qualified applicants. Reasonable relocation funds are available.
[ECOLOG-L] New Position at Arizona State University: NEON Biorepository Project Manager
Inquiries strongly encouraged. -- The Arizona State University (ASU) School of Life Sciences and Biodiversity Knowledge Integration Center (BioKIC) are seeking a Project Manager for the National Ecological Observatory Network (NEON) Biorepository. NEON (neonscience.org) is a continental-scale ecological observation facility, sponsored by the National Science Foundation and operated by Battelle. The project is expected to run for 30 years. For each project year, the NEON Biorepository at ASU will receive, process, store, and make available an average of 100,000 biodiversity occurrences sampled at more than 80 sites across the United States. The diverse samples include DNA extractions, frozen soil samples, bulk and pinned insect collections, herbarium vouchers, and partial or entire vertebrate specimens, among others. A high rate of sample use for NEON-related research projects is expected. A new data portal will support the discovery and transactions of samples, as well as usage statistics. The project will transition throughout a multi-year infrastructure and service growth phase before reaching its full capacity. Achieving these goals will require reliable coordination of project personnel and budgets, space renovations and infrastructure creation, and timely reporting to internal and outside institutions, including the NEON research community and greater public.
