Spatial Analysis Post Doc
The Colorado Forest Restoration Institute (CFRI) at Colorado State University is seeking applications for a Post-Doctoral Research Associate to contribute intellectual and implementation leadership for a multi-year transdisciplinary applied research project aimed at advancing our understanding of treatment effectiveness in the face of changing fire regimes. . CFRI, as part of the Southwest Ecological Restoration Institutes (SWERI), has received funding through the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act enacted in 2021 to carry out a five-year program of work to strengthen collaborative governance processes among governmental, non-governmental and community based entities engaged in forest wildfire risk management in the U.S. The Act specifically directs the SWERI to leverage their established role and expertise as boundary-spanners to facilitate the coordination and use of currently available geospatial data platforms and products in multi-stakeholder collaborative wildfire risk management governance processes in ways that complement and supplement the diversity of locally-relevant knowledge held by, and available to, managers, stakeholders and policy-makers across spatial scales.
The Post Doc will focus on the Act’s provision to use the newly curated treatment database to answer questions about treatment effectiveness and provide nuance to when and why treatments are effective versus ineffective using multiple metrics. This position will work closely across the SWERIs in regards to the research coordination of the geodatabase to ensure data quality and specificity is additive to potential uses, end users and analyses.
To Apply: To ensure full consideration, applications must be received by Saturday, October 30, 2023. Please submit all application materials online at https://jobs.colostate.edu/postings/133330
