Department Udall Center
Department Website Link https://udallcenter.arizona.edu/
Location Main Campus
Address Tucson, AZ USA
Position Highlights The Udall Center at the University of Arizona is in search of a Community Engagement Postdoctoral Research Associate (Postdoctoral Research Associate I). Community engagement is at the cornerstone of environmental and natural resources governance. Yet, it is often characterized by institutional deficiencies, inequities in practice, inadequate benchmarking, and a lack of measurable outcomes. This position offers the opportunity to explore community engagement across a number of efforts underway at the Udall Center, including local green infrastructure and urban greening projects, the use of novel geospatial tools in federal natural resources engagement processes, and governance practices in the Colorado River Basin, among other research topics. In addition, there is considerable room for the postdoctoral researcher to design and implement their own research initiative under this broad umbrella of community engagement in environmental and natural resources governance.

Outstanding UA benefits include health, dental, vision, and life insurance; paid vacation, sick leave, and holidays; UA/ASU/NAU tuition reduction for the employee and qualified family members; access to UA recreation and cultural activities; and more!

The University of Arizona has been recognized for our innovative work-life programs. For more information about working at the University of Arizona and relocations services, please click here .
