[ES_JOBS_NET] USGS Mendenhall Post Doc opportunity: Integrating energy, mineral, and other natural resource information to support resource management decision-making.

[Diffendorfer, James (Jay)]

The United States Geological Survey is recruiting a post-doctoral scientist focused on science related to the energy-mineral-environment-human nexus and integrated analyses of tradeoffs associated with resource development.  The Mendenhall Program is described here<https://www.usgs.gov/centers/mendenhall/20-39-integrating-energy-mineral-and-other-natural-resource-information-support>, and the details of the research opportunity 20-39: "Integrating energy, mineral, and other natural resource information to support resource management decision-making", here<https://www.usgs.gov/centers/mendenhall/20-39-integrating-energy-mineral-and-other-natural-resource-information-support>.

The post-doc will work with project co-leads Seth Haines, Jay Diffendorfer, Emily Pindilli, and Darius Semmens as a well as wide network of collaborators.  The location of position will depend on who the post-doc most wants to work with but will be either Reston, VA or Denver, CO.

The candidate will have latitude to pursue novel research addressing the dynamic, interconnected relationships among natural resources; and consider the economic and societal consequences of these changes. We encourage applicants from a wide range of disciplines.  Please see this list<https://www.usgs.gov/centers/mendenhall/20-39-integrating-energy-mineral-and-other-natural-resource-information-support> of possible research focal areas. The application process closes on January 6, 2022.
Mendenhall fellowships require the applicant to submit a proposal that addresses the research opportunity.  This should be developed in collaboration with the project co-leads.  If you plan to apply please email any of the project co-leads with subject line "20-39 Mendenhall Post-doc."
For non-US Citizens.  See this link<https://www.usgs.gov/centers/mendenhall/mendenhall-questions-and-answers>.  "Anyone can apply for a Research Opportunity; however, Mendenhall Fellowships are U.S. Government positions so the USGS must give preference to U.S. citizens. The hiring of citizens of other nations might be considered in very limited circumstances - if there are NO qualified U.S. citizen applicants, and if the person meets BOTH the appropriations act and immigration laws. Please refer to the Employment of non-citizens<https://www.usajobs.gov/Help/working-in-government/non-citizens/> webpage on USAJobs for additional details."
