Qualified candidates will possess a multidisciplinary background
applicable to the understanding of environmental and human systems, such
as work in landscape ecology, land-use change dynamics, conservation
biology, sustainable development, and/or environmental management and
policy. Strong quantitative and spatial modeling skills are required.
Experience with field methods and integration of field data with GIS and
remote sensing data for multi-scalar spatial analysis is desired. Evidence
of strong publication potential and ability to generate external funding
is essential.
