Professional Development Workshop: CV ReWorkshop, Northwest CASC
The Northwest Climate Adaptation Science Center will be hosting an interactive workshop on "Updating Your CV to Contextualize Your Contributions in Societally Engaged Research". If you're a researcher engaging with non-academic partners to develop science that meets real-world needs, you may have noticed that the traditional format of scientific CVs, focused on comprehensive lists of publications and presentations, makes it challenging to convey the distinct skills, activities and products associated with your societally engaged research. This workshop is designed to support you in incorporating narrative elements into your CV that help contextualize your skills and experiences and better communicate your work. The workshop will take place on December 12th at 1:00 PM ET. Learn More >>
Survey: Northeast Seed Network
The Northeast Seed Network (NSN) is a new partnership working to increase the accessibility of genetically appropriate, source-identified seeds and plants for the ecoregions of the U.S. Northeast and North-Mid Atlantic States. The Ecological Health Network, in partnership with the University of Massachusetts Amherst, is carrying out research on behalf of the NSN, with the goal of better understanding the needs and desires of native seed and plant material buyers. The goal of this project is to improve the availability of desired species and reduce shortages. If you purchase or use native seed and plant materials, please consider taking their survey. The questionnaire should take about 20 minutes to complete. Learn More >>
Undergraduate Research Experience: NCASC CAST Program
The USGS Climate Adaptation Scientists of Tomorrow (CAST) program is accepting applications for the summer 2024/2025 cohort. This program provides undergraduate students from historically underrepresented groups with paid summer opportunities to participate in cutting-edge climate adaptation science research projects at research institutions situated within the CASC network. The global climate is changing rapidly, already impacting both human and natural systems. Over the next few decades, changes in temperature, precipitation, and climatic variability are expected to drive even more change. To face future challenges, we need leaders representative of our nation’s diversity with expertise in climate adaptation, experience in multi-disciplinary collaboration, exceptional communication skills, and dedication to actionable science. Apply by December 31, 2023. Learn More >>
Position Opening: Postdoctoral Researcher, USGS Eastern Ecological Science Center
The USGS Eastern Ecological Science Center is searching for a highly motivated and talented quantitative researcher and data visualization candidate interested in the interplay of streamflow (particularly drought), stream temperature, and fish population dynamics in headwater (1st to 3rd Order) streams, and the sensitivity of these factors to climate change. This opportunity will consist primarily of co-leading an interdisciplinary physical-process modeling and statistical analysis team investigating the effects of streamflow and stream temperature on fish population dynamics across various catchment sizes and ecoregions (Appalachia, Rocky Mountains, Great Basin), with an emphasis on potential drought impacts to these relationships and systems. This project is the capstone effort of a 5-year USGS initiative designed to better understand the sensitivity of crucial headwater stream habitats to warming temperatures and increases in hydrologic extremes. Apply by January 19, 2024. Learn More >>
