Graduate Research Assistant: Role of Community and Citizen Science in Marine Protected Areas
POSITION FILLED.
The Center for Community and Citizen Science seeks a graduate student researcher (GSR) to help kickstart a new grant-funded project focused on the role that community and citizen science (CCS) has played in the management of marine protected areas (MPAs) in California.
NOTE: At this time we do not have final confirmation of funding, but hope to within the coming days. So at this time we are looking for expressions of interest.
Position Announcement
Postdoctoral Scholar
Position has been filled
The Center for Community and
Citizen Science (CCCS) and the Center for
Environmental Policy and Behavior (CEPB) seek an accomplished
quantitative social scientist to lead a project focused on human
use of coastal and ocean resources. The postdoctoral scholar will
conduct analyses of data generated by MPA Watch, an innovative
citizen science project in which volunteers collect data about
onshore and offshore human activities along the California Coast
(learn more at mpawatch.org). The position
requires high-level statistical methods in R, including spatial
models and the capacity to estimate models that include missing
data and data that is only partially observed across geography.
The role also involves working with state agencies and non-profit
partners involved in the adaptive management of California’s
network of marine protected areas.
Student Opportunities for 2019-2020
