<p><span><span style="font-size:11.0pt">We are seeking a postdoctoral researcher to work with a diverse team of geoscientists, geoengineers, and social scientists on a 2-year project aimed at identifying, empowering,
and rewarding diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) champions within the geosciences by aligning hiring, promotion, award, and other evaluation systems with institutional and community goals to promote diversity and inclusion within the Geosciences. The postdoc
will work with the proposal team to survey geoscience programs nationally and interview faculty in focus departments to establish how faculty are currently evaluated in geoscience departments, then determine how DEI efforts fit within evaluation, tenure, promotion,
and award frameworks. <u></u><u></u></span></span></p>
