> The National Socio-Environmental Synthesis Center (SESYNC), located in
Annapolis, Maryland, invites applications for a two-year postdoctoral
fellowship beginning early January 2014 that will be a part of a new
SESYNC–USDA collaboration to catalyze data-driven research on food systems
resilience to climate change.

> SESYNC seeks applications from PhD-level researchers with an interest in
and/or prior research experience with data-driven analytical and/or
modeling approaches to synthesize existing climate, socio-economic,
demographic, and environmental data to address pressing questions related
to food/agro-ecological systems resilience to climate change. The fellow
will also lead the planning, organization, and management of the new
SESYNC–USDA “Data to Motivate Synthesis” Program. This program will provide
a unique opportunity for 25 early career scholars to co-develop research
projects through a series of data exploration workshops with the
cyberinfrastructure support needed to understand and predict food systems
resilience under a changing climate.
