POSITION AVAILABLE
IDGEC International Project Office
The international project on the Institutional Dimensions of Global
Environmental Change (IDGEC) seeks a highly qualified person to serve
half-time as director of the IDGEC International Project Office (IPO)
and half-time as a postdoctoral fellow working on themes of interest to
IDGEC.
IDGEC is a long-term research project dealing with the roles that
institutions play both in causing and confronting large-scale
environmental changes. This project is one of a family of projects
operating under the auspices of the International Human Dimensions
Programme on Global Environmental Change. The IDGEC IPO is located at
Dartmouth College; it operates under the general direction of the IDGEC
Scientific Steering Committee which is chaired by Oran Young who is
Professor of Environmental Studies at Dartmouth.
The director of the IDGEC IPO must have scientific credentials
(preferably a Ph.D. in one of the relevant social sciences) and be able
and willing to participate in the development and conduct of flagship
research activities to help in forging partnerships with other research
programs, to represent the project in international settings, and to
work with individual members of the IDGEC Network. Computer skills and
familiarity with the development of web sites are essential. Experience
with quantitative analysis or modeling would be helpful.
The occupant of this position will be expected to conduct research on
substantive matters of interest to IDGEC. Among the project's current
interests are the institutional dimensions of carbon management, the
boreal and tropical forests. Additional themes may emerge in the future.
An interest in one of IDGEC's priority regions -- Southeast Asia and the
Circumpolar North -- would be helpful, though not essential.
Additional information on the project may be found at the IDGEC web site

The successful applicant will be appointed initially for a term of one
year. But the appointment may be extended one year at a time for up to
two additional years. Salary will be in the range of $35-40,000 USD. The
position is available from 1 September 2000.
Candidates should submit applications, consisting of a curriculum vitae,
the names of three references, letter explaining their qualifications for
the position either by email to: idgec-ipo [at] dartmouth.edu or
oran.young [at] dartmouth.edu or by fax: 603/646-1279.
