Position Overview

Essential Job Duties The SE CASC is a federal USGS – university partnership funded by a competitive cooperative agreement to NCSU. The mission of the SE CASC is to co-produce actionable science to help fish, wildlife ecosystems, and Tribal Nations adapt to a changing climate.

The Southeast Climate Adaptation Science Center (SE CASC), in partnership with the Consortium, hosted by NC State University are seeking a Postdoctoral Scholar to further climate adaptation research and synthesis on invertebrates, focusing on bees. The mission of the SE CASC is to help fish, wildlife, ecosystems, and people adapt to a changing climate. The SE CASC focuses on the co-production of actionable science for natural and cultural resource management. The number of invertebrate species far outpaces the number of vertebrates, with almost 1.3 million invertebrates described. Many perform activities critical to ecosystem functions and services, but invertebrates are often missing in climate adaptation plans for species or habitats. Duties and Responsibilities:

  • We seek a Postdoctoral Research Scholar with expertise in the analysis of large monitoring datasets to understand climate impacts on invertebrates, in particular bees.
  • We are particularly interested in applicants with a variation of quantitative skills to analyze and visualize data, but will also consider applicants who have strong taxonomic and natural history expertise in bees and regional threats to specific bee groups to develop management briefs for climate adaptation.
  • Applicants should submit a cover letter, CV, a research statement (2 pages maximum) describing their prior research and clearly identifying their quantitative and/or taxonomic skills, and the names and contact information for three professional references.

    Application review will begin on March 15, 2026 and continue until the position is filled.
