Subject: Fwd: [ASAB-MAIL] Postdoctoral Fellowship Opportunity at
Cornell Lab of Ornithology
To: YETI <meet.yeti@xxxxxxxxx>
Edward W. Rose III Postdoctoral Fellowship Program at the Cornell Lab
of Ornithology
The Cornell Lab of Ornithology invites applications for our Edward W.
Rose Postdoctoral Fellowships. These competitive postdoctoral
fellowship awards (www.birds.cornell.edu/postdoc) support innovative,
independent research by early career scholars of exceptional promise.
Multiple Rose Fellow positions are available annually, with
applications due on September 8. All Rose Fellows join a vibrant
community of more than a dozen concurrent postdocs within the Rose
Postdoctoral Program and interact with many other scholars across a
wide range of disciplines.
These Rose Postdoctoral Fellowship awards support individuals pursuing
cutting-edge scholarship, while fostering intellectual interaction
with multiple Lab programs and Cornell scholars. Any area of inquiry
related to the Lab’s mission “to interpret and conserve the earth’s
biological diversity through research, education, and citizen science
focused on birds” is appropriate. Potential applicants are encouraged
to learn more about the Cornell Lab and our formal programs in
Bioacoustics, Bird Population Studies (avian ecology), Citizen
Science, Conservation Science, Communication, Education, Evolutionary
Biology, Information Science, Macaulay Library (animal behavior),
Multimedia Productions, and Public Engagement in Science. Activities
involving research and/or outreach spanning several of these areas are
particularly encouraged, and therefore each postdoctoral scholar may
be co-mentored by two senior Cornell scholars. Projects that foster
links to people and units from across Cornell University are likewise
welcome. Potential applicants are encouraged to contact the most
relevant faculty and staff at the Lab to brainstorm about areas of
mutual interest and synergistic projects. We are especially interested
in supporting the independent research of individuals who can bring
new ideas, approaches, and connections to the Lab, while
simultaneously leveraging our existing tools, data, and expertise in
science, education, and communication.
Each Rose Postdoctoral opportunity spans up to 24 months via two
consecutive year-long appointments at the Lab. Located at the Imogene
Powers Johnson Center for Birds and Biodiversity in the 220-acre
Sapsucker Woods sanctuary, the Cornell Lab of Ornithology is a vibrant
unit within Cornell's University’s College of Agriculture & Life
Sciences. More than 200 faculty and staff work at the Lab within our
10 mission-driven programs. Our management and staff are committed to
the highest standards of ethics and excellence in all areas of our
work.
These appointments provide a competitive salary, Cornell health and
other benefits, and funds to help support the Scholar’s research and
other professional needs. Start dates are usually flexible within the
year following the application. Interested applicants should visit the
Annual Rose Postdoctoral Fellowship Competition web
site(www.birds.cornell.edu/postdoc) for more information about the
overall Program and about the Rose Fellow selection process.
The application package consists of a cover letter, CV, two-page
research proposal, pdfs of up to three representative publications,
and names and contact information for three references. Applicants
must have received their PhD before beginning their postdoctoral
appointment at Cornell. Application materials should be sent as a
single pdf file to the attention of Sue Taggart (SET2@xxxxxxxxxxx).
Applications for the multiple positions available in 2018 will be
accepted until September 8, 2017. The selection committee is chaired
by Dr. Irby Lovette (IJL2@xxxxxxxxxxx), Fuller Professor of
Ornithology and Associate Director for Academic Affairs at the Lab.
Edward W. Rose, known by family and friends as “Rusty,” joined the
Lab’s Administrative Board in 1993 and served as its Chairman from
2004 to 2014. Rusty was a brilliant man who inspired everyone at the
Lab, not only through his infectious laugh but even more by asking
tough questions, expecting excellence, and seeking global impact.
Rusty had a deep conservation ethos which he exemplified both in his
own actions and through his support of the Cornell Lab and kindred
institutions. He was among the Lab’s most enthusiastic promoters of
early career scientists, and he always relished learning about their
discoveries and accomplishments. Rusty passed away in January 2016,
but his legacy endures in many contexts, including the Edward W. Rose
Postdoctoral Fellowship Program which brings together the Lab’s entire
postdoctoral community. Through the generosity of Rusty and his wife
Deedie, together with that of fellow board members Larry and Nancy
Fuller, Russ and Carol Faucett, and Imogene Powers Johnson, the Lab
shall award multiple Edward W. Rose Postdoctoral Fellowships annually.
Cornell University is an innovative Ivy League university and a great
place to work. Our inclusive community of scholars, students and staff
impart an uncommon sense of larger purpose and contribute creative
ideas to further the university's mission of teaching, discovery and
engagement. Located in Ithaca, NY, Cornell's far-flung global presence
includes the medical college's campuses on the Upper East Side of
Manhattan and in Doha, Qatar, as well as the new Cornell Tech campus
to be built on Roosevelt Island in the heart of New York City.
Diversity and inclusion are a part of Cornell University’s heritage.
We’re an employer and educator recognized for valuing AA/EEO,
Protected Veterans, and individuals with Disabilities.
