Colleagues: Myself and Stu Hamilton are excited to announce a Mellon post-doctoral position in remote sensing and environmental aid effectiveness. We are searching for a recent Ph.D. graduate in geography or the social sciences who is interested in using remote sensing tools to answer questions about the effectiveness of forestry and coastal management programs supported by donor financing. We are building on an emerging dataset, collected as part of the AidData project, that geo-references aid activities around the world. We plan to use this data in conjunction with remotely sensed landscape data to evaluate the conditions that support effective donor-financed programs. We seek a post-doctoral researcher who would like to be a full member of this emerging research program.
This two-year position includes a $45,000 salary and benefits, a $10,000 annual research account, and dedicated research assistance from William & Mary undergraduates. The position also offers the opportunity to teach one course per year and receive mentorship in teaching. The post-doc can be involved with a number of programs on campus, including the AidData research project, the Center for Geospatial Analysis, and the Environmental Science and Policy program. Please see the announcement pasted below and direct anyone who might be interested to contact us: http://www.wm.edu/as/cga/Employment/index.php --------------------------------------------------- Mark T.
