fellowship opportunity is available with the U.S. Forest Service, Pacific Northwest Research Station (PNW) located in Olympia, Washington or Corvallis, Oregon. The PNW Research Station is a Forest Service research center that develops and delivers knowledge
and innovative technology to improve the health and use of the Nation’s forests and rangelands. </span><span style="font-size:11.5pt"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

collaborate with a unique inter-agency team in Oregon to develop several resources related to fire and post-fire research and monitoring. The goal of these resources is to promote collaboration and leverage capacity in post-fire research and monitoring. First,
the fellow will help to develop a dynamic catalog of post-fire research and monitoring activities after major fire events in Oregon over the last two years, including the historic Labor Day fires of 2020. The catalog will include research and monitoring activities
in air, soil, water, and biology and will increase understanding of resource conditions, fire impacts, and recovery efforts. The catalog will allow participants to easily find where scientific information is being collected, who is collecting it, what indicators
are being measured, and where the final data will be stored and shared.</span><o:p></o:p></p>

<p style="margin:0in;background:white"><span style="font-size:11.5pt;font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif;color:#333333">The fellow will collaborate with the inter-agency team to develop a post-fire “playbook”, which will help users identify post-fire research
and monitoring tasks and objectives immediately after a major fire event. The playbook will also will help to evaluate different agency and entity responsibilities and interests related to post-fire research and monitoring toward the goal of promoting collaboration
and sharing of resources after fire events. The fellow will also help with planning and implementation of a post-fire research and monitoring symposium. The symposium will bring together a diverse group of agency, university, and non-governmental organization
representatives involved in post-fire research and monitoring to share their post-fire work and make connections.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
