Do you apply innovative biodiversity science to global sustainability?

The California Academy of Sciences will fill several endowed positions with outstanding Ph.D. scientists focused on changing the world through cutting-edge biodiversity/ecological science, broader science communication, increasing diversity in science, and connecting their work to real-world sustainability outcomes.

The Academy offers a LEED platinum museum, aquarium, planetarium, extraordinary exhibits, and ~46 million specimens—a powerful setting for scientific research and engagement. Our new "cluster hires" will join ~100 scientists, students, and post docs.

We especially seek experts in coral reef biology, tropical rain forests, California biodiversity, and the impacts of global change on biodiversity, as well as in marine mammals and amphibian decline. Candidates with skills in "big data", modeling, GIS, visualization, genomics, and innovative field- and collections-based research, and who connect their work to larger sustainability challenges are especially compelling. Applicants must have a relevant doctorate and postdoctoral experience or equivalent training.

Applications will be reviewed until all positions are filled; for full consideration, apply by November 1, 2015
