PostDoc on Environment, Community, & Equity

[Dana R Fisher]

Hi Everyone:

I'm hiring a Post Doctoral fellow to work with me at the Center for Environment, Community, & Equity at American University to start this fall.

Here are the Details:

We welcome applicants who possess a broad and big-picture understanding of environmental challenges and the ability to engage with research and scholarship from multiple disciplines. Preference will be given to applicants with experience working on actionable research and who possess project management and grantwriting experience, strong intrapersonal skills, and knowledge around equity, community, and social justice issues. The postdoctoral fellow should reside in the D.C. metropolitan area and be an active participant in the vibrant intellectual community at American University's School of International Service (SIS).

The successful candidate will work directly with Professor Dana Fisher, the Director of the Center for Environment, Community, & Equity (CECE), to expand and enhance the Center’s reputation in D.C. and globally. Areas of work will be derived from CECE focus areas: 1) Climate and Sustainability; 2) Environment, Equity, and Justice; 3) Food, Agriculture, and Land; and 4) Water, Oceans, and Fisheries.

Other expectations include:

• Working with Dr. Fisher and the CECE team to coordinate collaborative research projects in development by CECE affiliated faculty across American University,

• Contributing to the day-to-day activities at the Center, including coordinating environmental events, hosting guests, writing for the new CECE Clearinghouse, and providing other administrative support (25% of the time); and

• Providing support and insight to teams that are selected to be part of the Faculty Development Incubator program, which awards start-up funds to support the development of interdisciplinary research projects around the environment from across the AU campus.
