COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH WITH SESYNC POSTDOCS
The National Socio-Environmental Synthesis Center (SESYNC) seeks Research Collaborators (PhD required) interested in mentoring incoming SESYNC Postdoctoral Fellows and co-developing socio-environmental synthesis research projects with them. Collaborators must have: + demonstrated expertise in the social, natural, or computational sciences, + sufficient research experience to provide substantive intellectual and methodological mentoring to Postdoctoral Fellows, and + ideas suitable for research collaborations using synthesis methods (e.g., data integration, quantitative or qualitative analysis, modeling, etc.). We welcome Collaborators from universities, NGOs, government agencies, and other research institutions. This is an ideal opportunity for collaborations across disciplines, as our competitive Postdoctoral Fellowship program receives applications from scholars across the social, natural, and computational sciences. Collaborators are expected to work closely with the Postdoctoral Fellow on the postdoctoral project for a period of two years beginning June 2015 and to provide mentorship on the synthesis research. However, the Fellow is expected to take the lead on the proposed project. Postdoctoral Fellows will be funded by SESYNC and located in Annapolis, Maryland. They are expected to meet in person with their Collaborator at least twice per year; funds will be provided for Fellows to visit Collaborators at their home institutions and vice versa. SESYNC will provide a month of summer salary each year for the Collaborator via a sub-award to the Collaborator’s home institution.
