An initiative of UA Research, Discovery & Innovation in collaboration with the Institute of the Environment and the Udall Center for Studies in Public Policy ====================== CONNECT with a creative research team spread across the University of Arizona campus, comprising leading researchers from biodiversity science, public health and epidemiology, public policy and governance, informatics, and environmental and national security. ENGAGE in a collective approach to learning and training ... share common postdoctoral research and office space in the UA's new ENR2 Building ... join in lab activities and meetings for at least two faculty PIs (from different disciplines) ... attend regular BBCS-sponsored lectures, training sessions, and workshops. CULTIVATE and develop, under the guidance of internationally renowned faculty mentors, innovative and interdisciplinary research with potential high-impact funding ($2M to $5M) to address fundamental and applied questions related to changes in local, regional, and global biodiversity. ======================== Join Us! The University of Arizona Office of Research, Discovery and Innovation, in collaboration with the Institute of the Environment and the Udall Center for Studies in Public Policy, invites applications for 3-4 two-year research appointments in the recently established postdoctoral cluster hire, Bridging Biodiversity and Conservation Science (BBCS): Forecasting Future Operating Environments. The program seeks researchers who have (i) an ability to collaborate with interdisciplinary teams and create novel synthetic research, and (ii) creative insight in biodiversity and conservation science and expertise or interest in an additional targeted research area, specifically public health, epidemiology and emerging diseases; public policy, public administration, and governance; national security; or informatics. About the BBCS The BBCS comprises a team of core faculty, steering committee members, and other affiliated researchers that identified (through a series of workshops in 2016) several cross-cutting research projects that use biodiversity as a focal point for interdisciplinary investigation in public health, governance, informatics, and security. The scientific goal of the BBCS program is to build a more robust and predictive biodiversity and conservation science and to addresses emerging, critical issues in human health and well-being, and in environmental, food, and national security.
