Research Manager -- San Diego State University
The Global Change Research Group (gcrg.sdsu.edu) at San Diego State
University (Dr. Walter C Oechel, Director) is seeking a Research
Manager to oversee the day-to-day research activities of the
group. With an average of $1.4 million/year in research funding,
this is a highly active, dynamic research group, and we seek
someone with the energy and enthusiasm to coordinate activities on
multiple fronts. Current research focuses on developing and
understanding the predictive capability of the interconnections of
terrestrial, atmospheric, and marine systems on global change.
Active research sites include the Arctic (Alaska, Russia), the
Pacific Basin (including Baja California Sur, Mexico, Indonesia),
and the semi-arid ecosystems of Italy and San Diego incorporating a
small research aircraft, 12 permanent eddy covariance tower sites
(plus portable towers), soil measurements, remote sensing, and
modeling efforts.
The Research Manager will coordinate field research campaigns and
oversee data collection and analysis. Project management
responsibilities will include:
o Hiring and supervision of field technicians and graduate students
o Hands-on fieldwork (equipment assembly, calibration, trouble- shooting)
o Data management and analysis
o Manuscript and report preparation
o Coordination with Administrative Coordinator for field/ equipment budget
oversight
Applicants with a degree in biological sciences (ecology,
environmental science, or other relevant discipline) and field
research experience will be considered. A Masters or Doctoral
degree is an advantage, but research management and field
experience can be substituted, especially if experience is directly
related to carbon balance or trace gas flux research (eddy
covariance techniques; CO2, CH4, H2O, and energy flux; chamber
measurements, etc.).
Application procedure: Apply via https://jobsfoundation.sdsu.edu/
to Job # 080055, where you can electronically submit a cover letter
summarizing qualifications for the position, curriculum vitae,
examples of writing skills, transcripts of college/university work
(unofficial transcripts are fine), letters of recommendation, and
the required SDSURF job application.
Position is available March 15, 2008.
