[ES_JOBS_NET] Post-doc opportunity at University of Colorado-Boulder in climate-adapted fire management

[Katherine Siegel]

Dr. Laura Dee and Dr. Katherine Siegel (University of Colorado-Boulder’s
Department of Ecology & Evolutionary Biology) seek a Postdoctoral Research
Associate focusing on climate-adapted wildfire management. This project
seeks to operationalize the Resist-Accept-Direct framework to manage
wildfire-facilitated ecological transformations in the Greater Yellowstone
Area, where climate change and wildfires are interacting to cause shifts
from conifer forests to shrublands and grasslands. These transitions impact
conservation objectives and ecosystem services across a large landscape
with many different management agencies with diverse goals.

This project, funded by the USGS’s North Central Climate Adaptation Science
Center, involves close collaboration with management agencies in the
Greater Yellowstone Area, including resource, land, and wildfire managers
in the National Park Service and US Forest Service. The overarching goal of
the project is to help managers identify desired future ecological
conditions and coordinate approaches to achieve their conservation
objectives in the context of climate change and ecological transformations.

The successful candidate will have experience working with land and
resource managers in a co-production framework, with specific experience
with qualitative environmental research methods including semi-structured
interviews and workshop facilitation. The candidate will be based in
Boulder, CO in the Department of Ecology & Evolutionary Biology and
co-advised by Dee (CU Boulder) and Siegel (CU Boulder and University of
Toronto), with opportunities to interact with the researchers from the
North Central Climate Adaptation Science Center.

applications will begin immediately, and applications will be accepted
until July 20, 2023.
