for further details
The National Socio-environmental Synthesis Center
(SESYNC), located in Annapolis, Maryland, invites
applications for 2 year postdoctoral fellowships
that begin September 2013. Fellows will undertake
independent social, environmental, or
cyber-infrastructure synthesis projects that are
consistent with the mission of SESYNC. In
addition to leading independent synthesis
research, SESYNC fellows spend part of their time
(~30%) on collaborative center activities, which
could include such efforts as working with a
Pursuit team, working on a cross-Pursuit or
cross-Theme synthesis project, organizing a
workshop, developing an education, policy, or
outreach activity, or exploring visualization and other cyber tools.
SESYNC postdoctoral fellows will be based in our
facilities in Annapolis, Maryland, with the
possibility of spending some time at our partner
organization, Resources for the Future, located
in Washington, DC. SESYNC offers substantial
computational support for fellows, as well as a
dynamic, collaborative learning environment.
Postdocs will receive an annual stipend, full
University of Maryland employee benefits, and a
small annual travel allowance for meetings.
Fellows will have two mentors- a professional
mentor at SESYNC and a domain mentor. The domain
mentor should be at a SESYNC partner institution
or be an established scholar elsewhere who will
travel to SESYNC at least twice a year to work with the fellow.
ELIGIBILITY
We seek a diverse group of postdoctoral fellows
with PhDs in social, natural, and computational
sciences. Areas of previous research should be
relevant to socio-environmental synthesis or
synthesis education, including anthropology,
computer science, ecology, education, economics,
geography, history, mathematics, political
science, psychology, public policy, planning, sociology, statistics, etc.
APPLICATION DEADLINE AND SUBMISSION PROCESS
The deadline for applications for fellowships is
May 1, 2013 for fellowships beginning in
September 2013. Candidates must be available for
Skype and in person interviews during the first
two weeks of June. Future competitions will be
held on an annual basis, with applications due in spring for fall starts.
Applications will require a research proposal,
description of interests and ideas for
collaborative center activities, description of
cyber-infrastructure needs, CV, and three letters
of reference (submitted separately). Potential
international Postdoctoral Fellows should review
visa requirements before applying. Please visit
