The University of Northern British Columbia (UNBC) is searching for TWO postdoctoral fellows for the Department of Ecosystem Science and Management starting in the summer of 2025. One position will focus on Population Growth and Viability Modelling and the other will focus on Conservation Genomics. The two Postdocs will work in partnership with the Marmot Recovery Foundation (MRF), which is a charitable organization whose mission is to recover the wild population of the critically endangered Vancouver Island marmot. 

 

The two fellows will contribute novel applied research to advance marmot conservation by studying historical population trends, building population viability models to guide recovery efforts, genome sequencing to estimate diversity, inbreeding, and relatedness, and assist in developing the first genotype-informed conservation breeding program in Canada. The canidates will also play an integral role in shaping ongoing conservation efforts and be a part of a multidiscipinary team of academics, veterinarians, managers, and conservation biologists from UNBC, Vancouver Island University, the MRF, the Wilder Institute/Calgary Zoo, and Provincial and Federal Governments.

 

Fellows will recieve an annual salary of $60,000, 4% vacation pay, competitive health benefits, and be based at the Prince George campus with opportunities for summer fieldwork on Vancouver Island.

 

Applicants must meet the following criteria:

- Have a completed Ph.D within the previous four years, or will be awarded within three months of beginning the fellowship in biology or a closely related discipline.

- Fluency in written and verbal English.

- A growing record of scholarly activity related to their field.

The Lauterbur, Nunez, and Pespeni reearch groups in the Department of Biology at the University of Vermont (UMV), invite applications for the inagural cohort of the prestigious PLanetary Health Postdoctoral Fellowship. This full-time, 12 month postdoctoral position offers a unique opportunity to join a growing cohort of fellows as part of UVM's Planetary Health Initiative - to explore the interdependence of human well-being and the health of the environment. This is a one year position with the possibility of a second year, contingent on successful performance. The program emphasizes collaborative and interdisciplinary research, leveraging the strengths of the Lauterbur, Nunez, and Pespeni labs. 

Minimum Qualifications:

The successful candidate should:

- Hold a Pd.D. degree in bilogy, ecology, evolutionary biology, computer science, physics, or another relevant field;

- Candidates up to 5 years post Ph.D. will be considered;

 

-Some postdoc experience in a relevant field is preferred.

 

The Department of Materials Science and Chemical Engineering and Institute for Advanced Computational Science (IACS), invites applications to apply for tenure-track Empire Innovation Professor (Associate Professor) position at Stony Brook University with an expected starting date of Fall 2025. We are seeking an innovative and collaborative researcher focused on the development and applications of artificial intelligence and machine learning to advance the discovery and design of novel materials. The successful candidate will hold a joint appointment between the department and IACS while engaging with Empire AI, which is a state-of-the-art AI computing center in New York State with an aim of facilitating statewide innovation, research, and development of AI technologies. Applicants with a strong commitment to undergraduate and graduate teaching, including the ability to teach new courses for the development of the Materials Engineering Undergraduate Program, and a strong potential for establishing an externally funded research program. 

In the Department of Materials Science and Chemical Engineering, our programs in Materials Science and Engineering and Chemical and Molecular Engineering offer students an extensive curriculum with the opportunity to pursue advanced studies and gain knowledge of materials and chemical engineering theory and its relationship to related engineering processes. Our department is home to many research centers including an EFRC on Energy Storage technologies, the Center for Mesoscale Transport Properties, the Garcia Polymer Center, and the Center for Thermal Spray Technologies. These centers offer a unique and rich environment for interdisciplinary research and education.  

The current position is expected to strengthen and complement teaching and research activities in materials science and engineering. The successful candidate is one who demonstrates a motivating philosophy to provide students with a broad knowledge in theoretical and experimental techniques and builds a vibrant research program balancing independent and collaborative research projects while pursuing excellence in teaching at the undergraduate and graduate levels in the Materials Science and Engineering Program.Candidates should demonstrate the ability to contribute to diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts in the Department and the University.

The position is anticipated to start on or about Fall 2025.
