Dartmouth College: Postdoctoral Fellowship in Ecology and Society
We seek applicants for an independent postdoctoral fellowship affiliated
with the Ecology, Evolution, Ecosystems and Society (EEES) Graduate Program
at Dartmouth College. EEES is a diverse community of scholars who conduct
innovative research in the natural sciences and interdisciplinary
environmental studies, including ecology, evolution, anthropology,
economics, governance and geography. We aim to recruit an environmental
social scientist whose work is synergistic with our program's strong
emphasis on ecology and ecosystem science.
High quality candidates will have a strong background in interdisciplinary
research, advanced analytical skills and an interest in undergraduate and
graduate level education. More specifically, superior candidates will have
research interests that complement the program's existing strengths in
ecological economics, political ecology and the investigation of
social-ecological systems. In addition to developing innovative research
projects, postdoctoral fellows are expected to enhance graduate student
education and professional development through a seminar series or working
group dedicated to developing a collaborative research product.
The ideal candidate will be a strong contributing member of the vibrant EEES
community at Dartmouth and foster productive discourse both within and
beyond the program. Applicants should identify one or more potential
faculty mentors from the EEES program.
