[Kate Lance]

Post-doc - Spatial Modeling of Human-Environment  
Interactions, Center for Applied Geographic Information Science,  
University of North Carolina at Charlotte (USA)
A post-doctoral associate is sought whose research interests focus  
on the spatial dimensions of human-environment interactions, with  
emphasis on urbanizing metropolitan regions. Supported by state   
funding to the Center for Applied GIS, this position will contribute  
to research on the application of advanced geospatial concepts and  
technologies to social and environmental problems. A wide range of  
research topics are appropriate for investigation in this position.
    Qualified candidates will possess a multidisciplinary background  
applicable to the understanding of environmental and human systems,  
such as work in environmental geography, landscape ecology, land-use  
change dynamics, conservation planning, urban and regional planning,  
sustainable development, and/or environmental management and policy.   
Strong quantitative and spatial modeling skills are required.  
Experience with field methods and integration of field data with GIS  
and remote sensing data for multi-scalar spatial analysis is desired.
    Evidence of strong publication potential and ability to generate  
external funding is essential.
    Salary and Benefits: $40,000 per year, student health benefits,  
plus $10,000 annual budget for research and travel.
    The position will be located at UNC Charlotte in the Center for  
Applied Geographic Information Science ( www.gis.uncc.edu ) with an  
appointment of 2 to 4 years pending performance. As part of a rapidly  
growing research university, the Center is integrally involved in  
several federally funded projects in both basic and applied GIScience  
research ranging from modeling impacts of urban growth on forest loss  
to predicting the spread of emerging forest disease.
    Start date: Review of applications will begin on September 15,  
2007 and will remain open until a suitable candidate is identified.   
Start date is negotiable.
    To apply: please send an electronic application via e-mail with  
curriculum vitae, a statement of research interests, and the names of  
three references to Dr. Ross Meentemeyer ( rkmeente at uncc.edu ).   
Include  1)Center Post-Doc Search 2) in the subject line. For more  
information, please feel free to contact Dr. Meentemeyer by e-mail.
