[ES_JOBS_NET] Ecology research positions: Spatial Data Scientist, Field & Data Manager, Drone Pilot

[Derek Young]

The Forest Change Analysis Lab <https://focal-lab.org/> at UC Davis is
recruiting for several new research and field positions:

   -

   Spatial Data Scientist
   <https://focal-lab.org/position/spatial-data-scientist/>: This is a
   career-track position for candidates with a MS or PhD, beginning between
   January and September 2023, with a salary of $56,300 - $72,000 depending on
   qualifications. The Scientist will develop scripted analytical workflows
   and tools to process large geospatial datasets, primarily to
support the Open
   Forest Observatory <https://openforestobservatory.org/>, a new
   NSF-funded project on the frontier of drone-enabled forest ecology. The OFO
   is building open-source tools to (a) map forests at the individual-tree
   level using low-cost drone technology and (b) make the resulting maps
   publicly available. The Scientist will also lead or co-lead other
   data-intensive lab projects, with an initial focus on a collaboration with
   USGS that aims to understand fine-scale variation in tree mortality in
   areas of recent large wildfires in California by analyzing high-resolution
   imagery (drone, airplane, and satellite) and plot-based field data.
   -

   Forest Ecology Field & Data Manager
   <https://focal-lab.org/position/field-and-data-manager/>: This is a 9-
   to 12-month position beginning in January or February 2023 with an hourly
   salary of $27.09. The primarily office-based position will coordinate the
   collection, management, and initial analysis of field-based and drone-based
   forest vegetation data to support forest ecology research projects.
   -

   Forest Ecology Drone Pilot <https://focal-lab.org/position/drone-pilot/>:
   This is a 3- to 4-month position beginning in May 2023 with an hourly
   salary of $23.93. The Drone Pilot will support the Open Forest
   Observatory <https://openforestobservatory.org/> and a forest management
   planning study by piloting drones to collect imagery from forest sites.

For all positions, application review will begin December 9, 2022, and
continue until the position is filled. For full position details and
application instructions, please follow the links above.
