of Sciences seeks to fill several endowed positions with
Ph.D.-level scientists who do outstanding biodiversity /
ecological science, focus on broader science communication
& engagement, care about increasing diversity in
science, connect their work to real-world sustainability
outcomes, and want to change the world.</strong></p>
<p style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; outline:
none !important; margin: 0px 0px 14px; line-height: 22px;
padding-top: 10px;">Under new leadership, the Academy is
aggressively investing in groundbreaking scientific research
& discovery, and hiring new scientists who will help us
pursue our mission to “Explore, Explain and Sustain Life” on
Earth. We are eagerly seeking up-and-coming scientific leaders
with expertise in biodiversity, ecology & evolution, and
global environmental change. At the Academy, scientists and
curators are appointed in hard-money, endowed positions within
our Institute for Biodiversity Science and Sustainability
(IBSS), and are expected to embrace scientific exploration,
science communication & engagement, increasing diversity,
and making a real difference in environmental sustainability.</p>
<p style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; outline:

padding-top: 10px;">Founded in 1853, the Academy offers a
unique and powerful setting to conduct scientific research and
engagement. Housed in its Double LEED Platinum building in San
Francisco’s Golden Gate Park, the Academy combines a
world-class museum, research institute, and educational center
all under one roof. Facilities include outstanding research
collections (with almost 46 million specimens); a
world-leading digital planetarium / visualization studio;
premiere aquarium facilities with nearly 40,000 living animals
and unique culturing facilities; indoor rainforest, coral
reef, and California coast habitats; numerous exhibits and
educational facilities; and advanced research laboratories for
work in genomics, specimen preparation, digitization, computer
modeling, scientific visualization, etc. The Academy also
recently acquired<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><em

padding-top: 10px;">The new scientist “cluster hires” will
join nearly 100 other staff and students in IBSS, and help us
address some of the world’s most pressing problems related to
biodiversity conservation, ecosystem health, global
environmental change, and sustainability – and communicate it
to stakeholders and a diverse public.</p>
