PhD position in linked ecological and socio-cultural implications of rapid environmental change
Application Deadline: March 1, 2013 Start Date: Summer or Fall 2013 We invite applicants for a PhD opening in the Ecosystems, Societies and Knowledge research group at Dartmouth College (http://sites.dartmouth.edu/reo/). Our research group seeks to address complex, terrestrial natural resource issues affecting indigenous peoples. We seek a doctoral student who will work closely with one or more tribal communities to study socio-ecological implications of rapid environmental change. The ideal student will be interested in working with an indigenous community to understand how rapid environmental changes impact culturally significant resources and/or tribal cultural landscapes and, reciprocally, how traditional resource management and knowledge systems respond to environmental change. Qualifications: The student should have a MS or equivalent research experiences in natural resource management and ecology, environmental science and/or field biology. Students should have their own existing working relationships with a tribal community or a willingness to work with the PI in one of their research sites in the Great Lakes region. Applicants will need to apply to the Dartmouth Ecology and Evolutionary Biology Program before final acceptance (http://www.dartmouth.edu/~biology/eeb/). Interested individuals should send a letter stating research interests, CV or resume, and names and contact information of 3 references by email to: Dr. Nicholas J. Reo ([email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>) Assistant Professor Native American Studies and Environmental Studies Dartmouth College http://sites.dartmouth.edu/reo/
