آیا دکتری خواندن و صرف 4 تا 6 سال برای آن ارزش دارد؟ حتی در اروپا میزان پوزیشن دکتری به پوزیشن کاری با مدرک دکتری 1 به 30 می باشد. به این معنی که بعد از اتمام دکتری 1 نفر از 30 نفر موفق به پیدا کردن کاری میشود که مدرک دکتری نیاز است.

دلیل: حقوق دانشجوی دکتری در بهترین شرایط نصف یک شخص با مدرک دکتری می باشد و عملا کار هر دو یکسان می باشد. همچنین با وجود کار یکسان دانشجوی دکتری امکانات رفاهی، بازنشستگی، بیمه و خدمات درمانی و سایر مزایای کارکنان را ندارد و این یک سود برای دانشگاه ها می باشد.

If you have experience in both agroecosystem modeling and processes in agricultural systems, here is an opportunity.

Dear Colleagues-

I would like to call your attention to a postdoc opportunity TNC and UPenn just posted - the postdoc would be mentored by Prof. M Mann at UPenn and Dr. N Wolff at TNC.

Sustainability and Conservation Science Postdoctoral Fellowship at the University of Pennsylvania in partnership with The Nature Conservancy

Application deadline for 2025: Friday, February 14, 2025

Project Area: International research that informs climate adaptation interventions

Adoption of forest-based natural climate solutions is stymied by concerns around the “permanence” or durability of these interventions. Yet forest-based natural climate solutions are also essential for staving off the worst of climate change. Forests face increasing risks as the climate warms, but these risks are not uniform across the landscape. Science-based tools are needed to predict the likelihood and severity of carbon loss, as well as likelihood of system recovery. Such tools can help to target projects towards places that are less likely to be disturbed under future climate conditions, design projects that are more likely to be durable, and establish sufficient compensation mechanisms for any disturbances that do happen (e.g., buffer pool). We are seeking a candidate with expertise in global climate modeling, land use modeling, literature synthesis and/or forest-based carbon accounting to help advance a series of products around durability risks.

Mentor team: Prof. Michael Mann (mmann00@sas.upenn.edu), Dr. Nicholas Wolff (nicholas.wolff@tnc.org)

PROGRAM GOALS

This postdoctoral fellowship program aims to bridge the excellence in academic research at the University of Pennsylvania (Penn) and in conservation practice at The Nature Conservancy (TNC) to confront climate change, while creating a new generation of sustainability and conservation leaders who combine the rigor of academic science with real-world application.

Penn and TNC join in recognizing climate change as the single greatest environmental threat to humanity. Climate change is an issue that tightly integrates the health of the planet with the economy, access to clean and reliable energy, water, and food production, and equity. To tackle these challenges, our world needs science that blends climatology, physics, economics, business, chemistry, engineering, technology and communications with conservation and ecology. As well, it must marry the best academic research with opportunities for rapid testing and deployment in the real world to address human well-being.

The specific program goals are to:

Invest in the talent potential of a new generation of climate change leaders
Recruit scientists who bring a diversity of culture, experience, and ideas to Penn and TNC
Support innovative and impact-oriented research that helps deliver TNC outcomes
Provide the fellows and Penn research community as a whole with access to real-world conservation professionals and issues.

Postdoctoral Fellows will be supported annually with a $70,000 stipend and benefits, a $10,000 research fund, and up-to $2,000 for professional travel. A one-time relocation reimbursement of up-to $2,000 is also available. Fellows will be eligible for support for up-to two consecutive years.

Dear Colleagues,

I am looking to hire a postdoctoral researcher to work on our collaborative (WHOI-USGS-ODU) NSF funded project studying coastal wetland cold season dynamics. The job summary and position link are below.

Please share widely and don't hesitate to research out with questions!

Job Summary

The Coastal Groundwater Hydrology Team (juliaguimond.com) in the Department of Applied Ocean Physics & Engineering at Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution is inviting applications for a postdoctoral researcher position on an NSF-funded Collaborative Research project. The project focuses on cold season freeze-thaw processes, groundwater flow, and carbon dynamics in New England salt marshes, to (1) understand the hydrologic functioning of marshes during winter and (2) quantify the magnitude and mechanisms through which porewater, groundwater and carbon are exported from salt marshes to the tidal channel during the cold season. This work is in collaboration with Dr. Meagan Eagle at the U.S. Geological Survey Woods Hole Center and Dr. Joseph Tamborski at Old Dominion University. We seek a postdoctoral investigator to join this interdisciplinary research team for an 18-month period with a focus on fundamental research related to cold season coastal wetland hydrology, freeze-thaw dynamics, and lateral carbon export. A wealth of observational data has already been collected with an additional field season in 2025-2026. Due to the collaborative and interdisciplinary nature of the project, the specific area of interest of the postdoctoral investigator may include geophysics, hydro(geo)logy, and hydro-biogeochemistry – all helping to achieve our goal of better understanding coastal wetland hydrological, thermal, and biogeochemical processes occurring in North Atlantic salt marshes in the winter for improved annual estimates of water and carbon outwelling to the coastal ocean.

The Institution has a top-rated postdoctoral program (www.whoi.edu/postdoctoral/) that supports a dynamic postdoctoral community with formal mentoring and career guidance programs. While the primary focus of the work will be in research, the Postdoctoral Investigator will have the opportunity to participate in mentoring and outreach activities associated with our project.

I ideal position start date is late spring or early summer.
