The Science for Nature and People Partnership (SNAPP) seeks a postdoctoral fellow to collaborate on a new, two-year project titled “Landscape-scale forest assessments to support zero-deforestation supply chains.” This project is designed to empower the participation of small producers in zero-deforestation supply chains and support companies and governments to make conservation decisions based on landscape-scale connectivity. The project focuses on the High Carbon Stock Approach (HCSA), a multi-stakeholder initiative that has emerged as a leading tool for corporate and public implementation of zero-deforestation commitments. The work focuses on oil palm in Indonesia. Our team of working group participants from academia, farmer cooperatives, industry, and non-profits, will seek new scientific innovations that enable 1) greater participation of smallholder producers in zero-deforestation supply chains; 2) higher confidence in the benefits of corporate zero-deforestation commitments and 3) improved conservation planning through the integration of landscape-scale connectivity assessment.The selected postdoctoral fellow will work closely with co-PIs Robert Heilmayr (University of California, Santa Barbara) and Kimberly Carlson (University of Hawaii, Manoa). In addition, the postdoc will contribute to a team that values richly varied disciplines, perspectives, and ways of knowing and learning, and includes leading remote sensing scientists, conservation biologists, and practitioners from academia, non-profits and the private sector. The position will be based at the National Center for Ecological Analysis and Synthesis (NCEAS). Primary responsibilities may include but are not limited to: 1) help design and participate in SNAPP working group meetings, 2) work with smallholders to identify and develop tools and technical guidelines that are well-suited to enhancing their participation in zero-deforestation supply chains; 3) integration of existing, corporate conservation assessments into a flexible database of forest types; 4) creation of machine learning models to distinguish forest types from remotely sensed data; 5) connectivity modeling to inform effective landscape-scale conservation plans; and 6) communication of scientific advances through academic publications. The Science for Nature and People Partnership (SNAPP) is a collaboration between The Nature Conservancy (TNC), the Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS), and the National Center for Ecological Analysis and Synthesis (NCEAS) to create a fundamentally different way to identify and tackle large-scale challenges that threaten the integrity of nature and human wellbeing.
