Hi all. I’m delighted to advertise a 2-year post-doctoral position focusing on the users of the U.S. Protected Areas Database (PAD-US). As noted by the USGS, PAD-US is, “America’s official national inventory of U.S. terrestrial and marine protected areas that are dedicated to the preservation of biological diversity and to other natural, recreation and cultural uses, managed for these purposes through legal or other effective means.” Funded through a USGS cooperative agreement, this project seeks to understand the use and users of PAD-US data. 

 This project, and associated postdoctoral position, is part of a larger effort to develop and analyze USGS geospatial data. The post-doc will work closely with team members engaged on the PAD-US and the Gap Analysis Project (GAP). They will lead data collection, data analysis, dissemination of findings in the form of peer-review publications and project reports, and mentor students.  The post-doc will receive mentoring and support from senior investigators throughout the project. 

We seek a social scientist or a social-ecological systems scientist with experience in qualitative research methodologies. This individual will collaborate with PAD-US stakeholders, and GAP team members. 

 Details, including salary and application link, can be found here.  The deadline for applying is January 6, 2023.

Please share this information widely and encourage talented applicants to apply. I’m happy to answer any questions. 

 Best, 

 Dr. Monica Hubbard <monica...@boisestate.edu>
