Endowed Professorship in Wildlife Conservation: The State University of New York College of Environmental Science and Forestry (SUNY-ESF) invites applications for the Camp Fire Conservation Fund Endowed Professorship in Wildlife Conservation. We seek an interdisciplinary scientist working at the nexus of conservation science and policy to address issues of national and international relevance in wildlife conservation, with a research emphasis on big game species, a geographic emphasis in the northeastern United States, and a home base in Syracuse, New York. Within the contiguous US, the Northeast is the most forested, most populated, and fastest-warming region—creating a rich tapestry of wildlife issues stemming from multiple and diverse public goals, climate change uncertainties, complex land-use legacies, changing disease dynamics, urban wildlife conflicts, and more. Innovative solutions are needed to effectively manage wildlife in such challenging environments, requiring a multi-scale understanding of wildlife habitat use and population dynamics, a more inclusive understanding of diverse public interests, knowledge of relevant policies and applied decision-making processes, and an ability to translate scientific understanding into policies that facilitate effective management actions. We are particularly interested in candidates with a commitment to diversity and inclusiveness given that engagement of broader segments of society, and diverse forms of knowledge, are needed to ensure effective stewardship of wildlife resources into the future. We especially encourage early- to mid-career scientists to apply as we search for the most innovative and forward-looking thinkers in the field of game management. With major support provided by the Camp Fire Conservation Fund, New York State Department of Environmental Conservation, and SUNY-ESF Roosevelt Wild Life Station, this endowed faculty position provides a unique opportunity to build the interdisciplinary program needed to solve contemporary challenges in wildlife management, more effectively engage both hunters and non-hunting stakeholders to advance wildlife conservation, and train the next generation of innovative and politically-savvy conservation scientists. Responsibilities: The professor is expected to leverage endowment and partner support into an extramurally-supported research program that involves graduate students, establishes expertise in the ecology and management of big game species, particularly, but not exclusively, in the northeastern U.S., and cultivates academic, governmental and nongovernmental partnerships in wildlife conservation within and beyond the northeastern region. Teaching responsibilities include one undergraduate course (delivered annually), as well as topical graduate seminars (offered intermittently), within the professor’s area of expertise that complement existing offerings at the college. Interdisciplinary coursework that leverages existing resources at ESF and neighboring Syracuse University to integrate biological, socio-political, economic, and decision-making dimensions of wildlife management is expected. Service expectations include advising graduate and undergraduate students, participating in departmental and college governance, remaining active in relevant professional societies, and providing support to the Camp Fire Club of America, ESF’s Roosevelt Wild Life Station, the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation, and other conservation partners. Apply via the full job ad. Application materials should be received by November 27, 2022.

Global Land Use Modelling: Land use change is both a cause and consequence of Global Environmental Change, but at the same time it can also be a solution to environmental and social challenges. Given the strong global interconnections (telecoupling) through the trade of goods, commodities and services, local actions often have consequences in other world regions. Computational General Equilibrium models (CGE) are a tool to analyze these connections and evaluate the global impacts of policies and other interventions. Many sustainability interventions and policies affect land use, both locally and globally.

We are hiring five tenure-track positions in two departments: (1) Chemical/Bioresource/Agricultural Engineering in Dept. of Chemical Engineering (apply by September 12, 2022), and (2) Natural Resource Economics (September 19, 2022), (3) Landscape Modeling (September 26, 2022), (4) Soil Carbon Scientist/Modeler (October 3, 2022) (5) Carbon in the Built Environment (October 10, 2022), in the Department of Sustainable Resources Management. The successful candidates for these positions are expected to participate actively and sustainably in this interdisciplinary Bioeconomy Cluster initiative, with participation in this Cluster included as an important criterion in performance evaluations. The bioeconomy is central to the US and global economy's shift from a reliance on fossil fuels to an economy where biological resources and processes are the foundational component and mechanism of solutions to address multiple grand challenges including climate change, food security, energy independence and environmental sustainability. The bioeconomy also is an essential component of New York state's plans to aggressively reduce GHG emissions across its economy as mandated by the state's Climate Leadership and Community Protection Act of 2019 (CLCPA). SUNY ESF recently launched two new institutes focused on solving challenges in this space. The Climate and Applied Forest Research Institute (CAFRI) is a transdisciplinary team of forest, energy and climate experts who provide policymakers and the public with science-based and practical solutions to address climate change. The Bioeconomy Research Development Institute (BRDI) focuses on systems analysis and support of bioeconomy development initiatives. Faculty involved in these institutes and other related bioeconomy research are working closely with New York State (NYS) agencies on the development of the plans to implement the CLCPA as well as collaborating with faculty at other universities, research institutions, national labs and companies.
