[ES_JOBS_NET] Postdoctoral Fellow position at University of Alaska Fairbanks

[Donna Hauser]

The Alaska Arctic Observatory and Knowledge Hub <https://arctic-aok.org/>
(AAOKH) at the International Arctic Research Center <https://uaf-iarc.org/>
and University of Alaska Fairbanks <https://www.uaf.edu/uaf/> (UAF) invites
applications for a 1-2 year Post Doctoral Fellow. We are searching for
early career researchers with expertise across some combination of the
following themes: community-based monitoring, data management and
visualization, Indigenous Knowledge, adaptation planning, natural resource
management, and/or human dimensions of Arctic change.

Candidates with personal or research experience with Indigenous
communities, Tribes, or organizations will be given preference.

This is an opportunity to co-develop an innovative research project that
relies on holistic environmental observations from community-based
monitoring programs in the coastal realm of Arctic Alaska. The successful
applicant will contribute to collaborative approaches to data management
and visualization with an overarching goal to improve the relevance and
usefulness of community-based environmental observations, which can inform
planning and decision making in climate change adaptation and natural
resource management at the local scale.

The Post Doctoral Fellow will join ongoing efforts of the Alaska Arctic
Observatory and Knowledge Hub <https://arctic-aok.org/> (AAOKH). AAOKH is a
sustained and year-round community-based monitoring network established in
2016, following on from a predecessor program called the Seasonal Ice Zone
Observing Network that was founded in 2007. A foundational goal of AAOKH is
to develop partnerships with residents of Arctic Alaska to facilitate
knowledge exchange and learning among observers, coastal Indigenous
communities, and scientists related to changing coastal sea ice, ocean, and
weather conditions and associated impacts to fish, birds, and wildlife.

AAOKH is coordinated by the International Arctic Research Center at the
University of Alaska Fairbanks under the guidance of a Steering Group
<https://arctic-aok.org/about/>. In addition to project-specific
opportunities to link with related efforts, such as the Exchange for Local
Observations and Knowledge of the Arctic <http://eloka-arctic.org/>
network, the selected candidate will have several opportunities to
collaborate with other researchers at IARC and UAF. IARC is a research
institution hosting over 100 scientists, analysts, students, and
professional staff with interests and expertise spanning across physical,
biological, and social sciences. Research at IARC aligns with a set core
values <https://uaf-iarc.org/about-iarc/>: useful, actionable science; a
deeper understanding of Arctic change; science grounded in place; a work
environment that cultivates diversity, equity, and inclusion; innovation
and expertise; and collaboration as an approach to solving problems.

This position is based at UAF, although remote work requests may be
considered. The initial appointment will be for 1 year, with the potential
for reappointment pending performance review. The position will remain open
until filled, but applications should be submitted by October 31, 2021 to
ensure full consideration.
