Hello colleagues,
Please circulate as you see fit the attached advertisement for two
postdoctoral positions available immediately at the Ohio State
University to work on the "omics" of ash resistance to the emerald
ash borer.
Some of you may have seen a similar advertisement a couple of months
ago for a postdoctoral opening for someone to work on pine. That
position is separate and in addition to the two advertised here.
Please let me know if you have any questions on this matter. I
apologize in advance for any duplication of messages coming through
both forent and forpath.
Thank you!

Dear Forest Pathology and Forest Entomology Friends
Following the idea to do this during the course of the APS Forest Pathology
field trip last year, a web-based photo album of forest pathologists (and
some forest entomologists) has now been completed. It is in every way a
work in progress but already includes some amazing (some amusing)
photographs. Hopefully these will be enjoyed by our community and certainly
I have already had fun using some of the images in lectures. There is an
"introductory statement" that comes together with the album, giving some
history and also how you might contribute to making this a more
comprehensive and useful resource. The URL is
http://www.fabinet.up.ac.za/fpepg.
Your comments and contributions would be appreciated. Enjoy!!
Best wishes

Outreach Notice
Ecologist GS-0408-12 or
Geographer GS-0150-12
Permanent
One Position
USDA Forest Service,
Southern Research Station
Asheville, North Carolina
The Eastern Forest Environmental Threat Assessment Center (Center) of the
USDA Forest Service Southern Research Station is recruiting for an
Ecologist or Geographer research and development position located in
Asheville, NC. The position is targeted for the GS-12 grade level, with a
salary range of $ 67,613 to $ 87,893. This is a permanent full-time
scientific position covered by the Research Grade Evaluation Guide. A PhD
is required. Application is open to all U.S. citizens.
The position
The mission of EFETAC is to generate knowledge and tools needed to
anticipate and respond to environmental threats. The most serious threats
to forests, and the benefits they provide, inevitably involve complex
factors interacting at multiple scales. The Center?s challenge is to
maintain a holistic and integrated research program to tackle these
complex issues.
The selected candidate will serve as a member of the Threat Assessment
team emphasizing integrated approaches to detecting, predicting, and
assessing threats to forest health. Research conducted by the Center is
necessarily multidisciplinary, integrated, and applied. Corporate or team
results are more highly valued than individual accomplishments. Thus, the
incumbent is expected foremost to contribute to the design and development
of integrated Center products, and to ensure successful delivery of
scientific information and tools to managers.
This assignment is directed at understanding the spatial and temporal
dynamics of interacting ecological and social factors that combine to
create or exacerbate environmental threats. Assignments include the
development of probabilistic models to evaluate relationships between
forest and landscape patterns and the sensitivity or vulnerability of
forest health to future natural and anthropogenic disturbances and
stresses. Such models must fit within a more comprehensive risk
assessment framework that is useable by forest managers. Technology
transfer is an essential task of the position.
Knowledge required
The position requires advanced understanding of landscape processes,
forest ecology, and quantitative decision analysis. Candidates should
have expert knowledge of at least one area of forest disturbance, such as
wildland fire, insects and disease, or land-use change. The successful
candidate will have demonstrated expertise in analyzing complex
environmental and social issues at broad spatial scales. Advanced
understanding and experience with Geographical Information Systems (GIS),
ecological modeling, and risk assessment are required. Excellent
communication skills and ability to work in a collaborative team
environment are essential.
Location
This position will be located at the Southern Research Station?s
headquarters in Asheville, NC.
Asheville is the largest city in Western North Carolina with a population
of over 70,000. It is the core of a three-county metropolitan area of
229,950. In the last 20 years, Asheville has emerged as one of the
eastern United States? regional centers for cultural amenities. The city
boasts a symphony, lyric opera, and a ballet. It is well recognized for
its thriving drama, music, and arts communities. Asheville is also a
regional center for health care, banking, professional services,
manufacturing, and transportation. Located at an elevation of 2,200 feet
in the heart of the Southern Appalachians, the city has average summer
highs of 82 dropping to winter lows of 32, and rainfall from 55 to 60
inches with some areas over 80 inches. Surrounded by national forests and
50 miles from the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, Asheville is the
gateway for numerous rivers and trails and spectacular drives on the Blue
Ridge Parkway.
Interested candidates
Candidates meeting the qualifications and interested in the position
should submit a completed Outreach Response form to Stephanie
Worley-Firley no later than August 20, 2009.
It is anticipated that the vacancy announcement will be posted on OPM?s
USA Jobs website (www.usajobs.opm.gov).
