<p class="MsoNormal">The United States Geological Survey is recruiting a post-doctoral scientist focused on the complex social and environmental issues surrounding energy and/or minerals. If you are interested in socio-ecological systems, coupled human natural
systems, the rise of renewable energy, mineral extraction and use, integrated science, ecosystem services, geospatial modelling, big data, etc, please contact us! The candidate will have latitude to pursue novel research that best suits their existing skills
and disciplinary expertise within the broad topic of the fellowship. We encourage applicants from a wide range of disciplines and may, pending funding, hire a cluster of post docs.

<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">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. Annual salary: $84 -$86,000 depending on location, with generous benefits.
