Looking forward to hearing from you,
The AGCI Staff

*Position Overview*
The Research Director is a newly-formed position at AGCI that is charged
with designing and executing a scientific research agenda, cultivating AGCI
as a platform for interdisciplinary and actionable science, and gathering
resources for sustained continuation of research activities. In pursuing
this work, the Research Director will have wide latitude to pursue ideas
and efforts that further the broadly-defined mission of the Institute. The
focal areas of this agenda and its implementation are likely to be unique
to the experiences and interests of the candidate, but a successful
applicant will be able to clearly articulate the novelty, feasibility, and
mission-alignment of their ideas and also be able to engage requisite
sponsors, scientific collaborators, and partners in practical settings who
can benefit from this research. It is anticipated that a successful
candidate may ‘carry over’ research projects or ideas from previous
professional appointments.

*Qualifications*

   - PhD in physical or natural science discipline (expertise in climate,
   hydrology, or ecology preferred)

   - Strong scientific communication skills both written and verbal,
   including ability to present in front of large audiences and convey complex
   scientific concepts to various audiences (including the public, funders,
   colleagues from across disciplines)

   - Firm grasp of relevant data collection, management, and analysis
   technologies/techniques

   - Desire to join and foster the growth of a dynamic nonprofit
   organization

   - Demonstrated creative problem-solving abilities

   - Commitment to collaboration and community building in all partnerships
   and programs (both internal and external)

   - Demonstrated excellence in organizational, managerial, and
   interpersonal skills

   - Desire to join and foster the growth of a dynamic nonprofit
   organization

*Work Schedule & Compensation*
Start date is flexible within the summer of 2019. AGCI will consider
flexible FTEs and joint appointments (e.g., academic teaching and
advising). AGCI operates a primary office in Basalt, Colorado with
satellite offices as part of its institute without walls approach.

Compensation: Anticipated salary range is $90,000-120,000. Benefits include
generous PTO, healthcare, IRA contributions, flexible scheduling, wellness
benefits, and professional development opportunities.
