Seeking Two Positions Supporting Rangeland Analysis Platform

The University of Montana seeks to hire two positions, a Rangeland Analysis Platform (RAP) Outreach Coordinator to train multi-agency staff and partners on the utility and application of remotely sensed data products on rangelands, and a Rangeland Scientist to conduct rangeland analyses and quantify conservation outcomes.

Advantages:

  • Relationships with practitioners to coproduce science through multi-agency partnerships

  • Direct collaboration with developers of the new Rangeland Analysis Platform

  • Synergy created by multiple agencies integrating RAP into cross-boundary science and management

  • Immersion with science team that has helped inform 9.1M acres of conservation since 2010

Overview:

Ground-breaking advances in Rangeland Analysis Platform-based (RAP) mapping (Robinson et al. 2019, Jones et al. 2020a) and monitoring (Jones et al. 2020b) has created demand to incorporate these remotely-sensed products into rangeland management. The University of Montana satisfy that demand by hiring two positions, a RAP Outreach Coordinator to train multi-agency staff and partners on the utility and application of remotely sensed data products on rangelands, and a Rangeland Scientist to conduct rangeland analyses and quantify conservation outcomes. Successful applicants will be immersed on the science team that developed the RAP and has helped inform 9.1M acres of conservation since 2010.

To apply for either position provide a letter of interest, and CV (with list of references) to Brady Allred (brady.allred@umontana.edu) by December 15, 2020.
