SESYNC postdoctoral fellows will be based in our facilities in Annapolis, Maryland, with the possibility of spending some time at our partner organization, Resources for the Future, located in Washington, DC. SESYNC offers substantial computational support for fellows, as well as a dynamic, collaborative learning environment. Postdocs will receive an annual stipend, full University of Maryland employee benefits, and a small annual travel allowance for meetings. Fellows will have two mentors-� a professional mentor on-site at SESYNC and a domain mentor. The domain mentor should be at a SESYNC partner institution or be an established scholar elsewhere who will travel to SESYNC at least twice a year to work with the fellow. ELIGIBILITY We seek a diverse group of postdoctoral fellows with PhDs in social and natural sciences. Areas of previous research should be relevant to socio-environmental synthesis or synthesis education, including anthropology, computer science, ecology, education, economics, geography, history, mathematics, political science, psychology, public policy, planning, sociology, statistics, etc. APPLICATION DEADLINE AND SUBMISSION PROCESS The deadline for applications for fellowships is November 1, 2012 for fellowships beginning in February 2013.
