Job opportunities at the National Institute of Ecology (NIE) in South Korea
Dr. Jae C. Choe, the President of a newly-established National Institute of Ecology in South Korea, will introduce the NIE and talk about job prospects at the Institute on the campus of UCLA (La Kretz Hall Suite 300) on 25 June 2014, Wednesday, 2~4 pm. The NIE is an ecological research, education and exhibition complex that includes research facilities and greenhouses, restored forests and wetlands, and exhibition gardens and biodomes (showcasing tropical, desert, Mediterranean, temperate and polar biomes). Positions will be available in ecology, evolution, climate change, biodiversity conservation, big data management, and setting up an open data platform for biodiversity and ecosystem services. For further information, please contact Sarah Kim (<mailto:[email protected]>[email protected], +82-41-950-5301 (office), +82-10-2448-9650 (mobile)).
[Editorial note - I have made two visits to the NIE in the past three years, and was very impressed by the facilities I saw there last fall. The site is about an hour SW of Seoul, accessible by train. There is not a tradition of training ecology researchers yet in Korea, so Jae is advertising more widely for researchers. He'll be in California later this month, and has set up this seminar to advertise the opportunities at the NIE. - David Inouye]
