Folks, Clemson's Baruch Institute is hiring an Assistant Professor in Ecosystem Services to work with the existing faculty whose expertise is in forestry, wildlife, and water resources. We are particularly looking for someone who can evaluate and communicate economic, intrinsic, and cultural values of ecosystem services and how ecosystem services can influence policy.
The link to the announcement and application instructions is here: http://www.clemson.edu/cafls/safes/hiring/eco_services.html A little bit about the Baruch Institute and Georgetown, SC: We are one of Clemson's six research and education centers (field stations) and one of the few in the USA with a full time, year round, on site faculty dedicated to forestry, natural resources, and ecology. We have nine scientists and associated technicians and resident graduate students. Our location in Georgetown, SC, is about halfway between Myrtle Beach and Charleston on the coast. Our specific location, on Hobcaw Barony, is 16,700 acres of secondary forest and marsh, with a rich cultural and economic history. The incumbent for the position will find ready and eager collaborators within our faculty, extension service, faculty at the adjacent USC Marine Field Lab, Coastal Carolina University, and state agencies and non-profits. The Waccamaw public schools receive top ratings in the state. The area has numerous outdoor attractions and an interesting diversity of cultural activities and festivals.
