Current opportunities
Postdoctoral Fellow in Marine Biodiversity and Corporate Sustainability
The Arizona State University Center for Biodiversity Outcomes invites applications for a postdoctoral scholar position to join a vibrant and growing interdisciplinary team of faculty, students, and non-academic partners to develop and implement a portfolio of projects that advance marine biodiversity conservation policy and action in the United States. The position is a full-time, non-tenure track, benefits eligible position with an anticipated start date in May 2026.
Expanding and applying knowledge about marine biodiversity is critical to improving decision-making in all sectors with regards to resource management and investment. A whole-of-society approach to synthesizing, expanding, and sharing ocean and coastal biodiversity knowledge and strengthening institutions to apply this knowledge can support improved evidence-based protection and sustainable use. The private sector is critical for achieving sustainable outcomes, and due to regulatory and social pressure is increasingly interested in working in the realm of biodiversity conservation However, it is still unclear how biodiversity information can best be integrated into private-sector processes in ways that accomplish both business goals and biodiversity conservation. Our proposed work facilitates action to improve the sustainability of marine, freshwater, and coastal biodiversity in the U.S. Learn more about the position here.
