Position Opening: ORISE USGS Participatory Science Research Opportunity
As scientists respond to society’s greatest challenges with 21st century science, they are increasingly recognizing the need to engage with the decision makers, individuals, and communities their science aims to serve. USGS projects and programs have generated and utilized a variety of different models, frameworks, processes, and approaches for enabling participatory science (stakeholder and user engagement, actionable science, participatory action research, co-production of knowledge, citizen science, community science, open science, etc.). However, these efforts remain disparate, siloed, and ad hoc within project teams, mission areas, regions, or programs, resulting in a lack of access to or awareness of best practices. The objective of this project is to synthesize USGS scientific insights and leverage existing participatory science efforts to generate a practical set of bureau-wide resources.
