The prize aims to better recognise ECRs and offers two applicants the chance to win £500 to spend on furthering their career in ecology 🏅 If you’d like to get involved in future reviews and be in with a chance of winning, please fill in this form: https://lnkd.in/eQTzEWJj? #ecology #publishing #peerreview #research #academia #ECRs 

STUDY CORAL REEF BIOLOGY AND ECOLOGY: Scripps Institution Of Oceanography This field focuses on understanding the biological and ecological characteristics of coral reefs across the world. Potential undergraduate students interested in this topic may want to apply for the marine biology undergraduate major. Potential graduate student would want to consider the biological oceanography program or the marine biology program.

Good opportunity

I just found out that my paper titled "Mycelial Politics: Radical Ecology & Renewal in the Anthropocene" has been accepted to be presented at the annual Western Political Science Association (WPSA) conference in Seattle this April! Time to start writing.

The Wait is Over: The International Industrial Ecology Career Paths Survey is Now Live! 🌍 We’re thrilled to share the link to the Industrial Ecology Career Paths Survey with you today! Take the survey here: https://lnkd.in/dpmKHZpF This is your chance to share your unique journey in industrial ecology and help us build a clearer picture of how our field is shaping careers and driving impact around the globe. Let’s unite to tell the full story of industrial ecology careers. Don’t forget to share this survey with your industrial ecology network so we can hear from as many voices as possible! The survey is being conducted by a group led by Henrikke Baumann at Chalmers University of Technology in Sweden. Happy surveying! #industrialecology #circulareconomy #sustainabilitycareers

Recruiting PhD student and postdoc in trait based approaches to ecological synchrony Magda Garbowski, Lauren Shoemaker, and Jonathan Walter are recruiting a PhD student and a postdoc to join our team on a recently funded project applying trait based approaches to understand population and community patterns of synchrony. The PhD student will join the Functional and Restoration Ecology Lab (https://lnkd.in/gR7QqD_U) at New Mexico State University, led by Dr. Magda Garbowski and the postdoc will join Lauren Shoemaker's lab (https://lnkd.in/gAEHXcmS) at the University of Wyoming. All applications submitted by 11/3 for both positions will receive full consideration. Detailed information on the PhD position: https://lnkd.in/gmJhZBnP Detailed information on the postdoc position: https://lnkd.in/g5H2XMKE Lauren (lshoema1@uwyo.edu), Magda (garbowsk@nmsu.edu), and Jon (jawalter@ucdavis.edu) Project Overview: Synchrony, defined as correlated temporal fluctuations, such as in species' abundances, is a ubiquitous phenomenon across ecological levels of organization, and is driven by both biotic factors and abiotic environmental drivers. At the population level, correlations in temporal abundance fluctuations across distinct locations (i.e., population synchrony) increase species' extinction risk. To date, research has largely emphasized the role of environmental variation in shaping patterns of synchrony. However, species traits and their interactive effects with environmental conditions likely play major roles in regulating synchrony, as traits mediate species interactions and responses to environmental change. By integrating multi-site time series data from a global distributed experiment (the Nutrient Network) with novel trait collection, existing trait databases, and methods development, we aim to develop and empirically test frameworks for linking functional traits to synchrony across scales of ecological organization under both natural conditions and experimental treatments that alter the strength of top-down and bottom-up ecosystem controls. In Objective 1 we will synthesize multiple trait databases and collect new data on traits hypothesized to mechanistically affect synchrony, characterizing how trait composition responds to changing top-down and bottom-up controls and testing how bud bank, root, and seed traits relate to established plant form and function frameworks. In Objective 2 we will link species traits to spatial synchrony of populations, quantifying how multidimensional trait variation and trait-by-environment interactions result in interspecific differences in synchrony. In Objective 3 we will assess how community weighted mean traits and overall functional diversity determine patterns of community synchrony.

The Ecology of Wisdom I think often about the "ecology of wisdom"--where wisdom is generated and crystallized in specific environments: internally, within small communities, and with the world at large. Generally the wisdom we seek is close by, though often obscured. Find it. Below is a link to 4 upcoming opportunities for you or someone you know who is steeped in a time of transition. For either of these events you can expect valuable conversation, meaningful learning, and companionship in uncertain times.
