POSITION ANNOUNCEMENT: Lead Scientist Conservation Science Partners (CSP) seeks a Lead Scientist who will provide analytical and project management leadership and support as part of a team of ecologists for landscape and conservation planning projects. Most projects focus on US and North American terrestrial ecosystems, but may include freshwater systems, as well as interactions with human systems (e.g., land use, water use, protected areas, social networks). The work requires highly creative quantitative thinking based on in situ and remotely sensed data, computer modeling, and advanced inferential techniques. Outcomes of projects are designed to explain ecological phenomena and lead to tools and strategies decision‐makers can use. This position will likely emphasize active or future projects involving: modeling the ecology (and phenology) of fuels and fire in arid systems, applied statistics, mathematics, machine learning methods, ecological data science, and species habitat modeling. The individual in this position will work with others at CSP to help promote a culture of diversity, creativity, innovation, and experimentation.
