Assignment (starting asap).<br>
<p class="default"><b>Funded Sabbatical Opportunity in Indonesia.</b>
Michigan State University (MSU) is leading an initiative on

management and REDD+ in Indonesia. This is part of the large <a

href="http://www.lestari-indonesia.org/en/">USAID LESTARI
project</a> focused on reducing greenhouse gas emissions and
conserving biodiversity in carbon rich and biologically
significant forest systems in Indonesia. MSU is seeking applicants
for a funded sabbatical in this project. The successful candidate
will facilitate capacity building with Michigan State University,
the University of Palangka Raya in Central Kalimantan and USAID
LESTARI, and likely pursue ecological or social science research
related to forestlands and/or peatlands. Bahasa Indonesian
language is necessary; a 6-week immersion course is available at
the beginning of the sabbatical in Jakarta, if needed. Funding
support is available for 6 months of salary and benefits, 8 to 12
