[James Gray]

The Department of Forestry at Michigan State University invites 
interested parties to apply for two funded opportunities in Indonesia: 
1.) a 2017-18 Sabbatical and 2.) a Post-doc or Short-Term Assignment 
(starting asap).

*Funded Sabbatical Opportunity in Indonesia.* Michigan State University 
(MSU) is leading an initiative on university engagement for capacity 
building in low-carbon forest management and REDD+ in Indonesia. This is 
part of the large USAID LESTARI project 
<http://www.lestari-indonesia.org/en/> 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 months of living expenses, 
airfare and other indirect costs. Research support is negotiable. 
Expected start is Fall 2017. Please direct inquiries to Mr. Jay Samek, 
Research Scientist, Department of Forestry, Michigan State University, 
East Lansing, MI, 48823. Email: samekjay at msu.edu
