POSITION DESCRIPTION

POSITION OVERVIEW

The LTER Network Office seeks a collaborative and purpose-driven individual to assist LTER sites in developing and implementing strategies for broadening participation and increasing inclusion and access.

PROGRAM OVERVIEW

The Long Term Ecological Research (LTER) Program was established by the National Science Foundation in 1980 to study ecological processes operating on decadal-to-century time scales. Today, 27 sites located in diverse biomes generate a steady flow of high impact, team-driven science. Each year hundreds of graduate and undergraduate students work side-by-side with professional researchers and faculty members at LTER sites. At the same time, professional communities-of-practice and scientific synthesis efforts build interactions across sites.

These rich mentoring and networking opportunities serve as levers for promoting broader participation and inclusion in the Network and in environmental sciences in general.
