Brief description of duties associated with this position
The incumbent will be a scientist in the Urban Ecosystem and Social Dynamics (UESD) Program.

The goal for research in these areas is to better understand the interconnections among ecosystems, people and social institutions in ways that will inform policy and improve management of forests and other natural resources. The incumbent will conduct research across all three problem areas. An individual who has completed a graduate degree in economics or a similar field will be a good fit for this opportunity.

The incumbent will focus research on contemporary natural resource issues including vegetation management activities, water resources, forest disturbances, and recreation.

The incumbent has primary responsibility for evaluating data, conducting analyses, determining significance of findings, and formulating conclusions. Findings are reported out by the scientist alone or with co-authors as prepared talks at scientific and professional meetings, webinars, workshops and training sessions and in written form through proceedings papers, book chapters, reports, station publications, and peer reviewed journals. Consultations and technology transfer of findings to facilitate application of findings and improved understanding are also part of the assignment.
