Per Diem Associate Research Coordinator

Environmental Defense Fund

<div>
 The Environmental Defense Fund (EDF) seeks a scientist to conduct early-stage research on innovative, impact-focused approaches to decarbonization and reducing climate warming.
 <br/>
 <br/>
 As an early-stage incubator of scientific ideas and questions, the Climate Innovation group investigates promising climate solutions and technologies across sectors, from energy and industry to agriculture and natural systems. The goal is to identify technologies and system changes that can drive disproportionate climate impact, anticipate future challenges to success, and conduct key scientific investigations to create positive change. The scientist will identify high leverage scientific questions and data needs in emerging areas of global relevance, generate plans to investigate them, and follow through to drive meaningful impact. The scope of past and current topics is broad, including electrical transmission, carbon dioxide removal, industrial carbon capture safety, new sensor design, and agricultural amendments. Methods usually involve identifying and building teams of experts to collaboratively address the questions.
 <em>
  The ultimate metric of success is science that results in a positive impact on slowing climate change and its impacts.
  <br/>
  <br/>
 </em>
 <strong>
  Program Overview
  <br/>
  <br/>
 </strong>
 Science and Innovation (S&amp;I) is the engine of science at EDF. S&amp;I provides programmatic support for all scientists at EDF and fosters relationships with scientists outside the organization. We identify key emerging scientific questions and data needs of value to the climate and act as a global leader for solutions-oriented science. The team works on projects across all EDF programs, translating basic and applied research in the natural and social sciences into actionable ideas for colleagues who are designing policies, programs, and projects.
 <br/>
 <br/>
 <strong>
  Overall Function
  <br/>
  <br/>
 </strong>
 The Scientist will conduct research and identify opportunities for real-world impacts on climate warming, emissions, and policy. We are seeing increasing numbers of innovations and solutions put forth, some well founded in science and some less so. Identifying key scientific needs to evaluate the climate impacts (and other benefits) of potential solutions and accelerating good solutions is critical for a successful transition to a sustainable world. This scientist must think at a systems level &ndash; not only asking questions in isolation, but within the broader context of systems emissions, economics, behavior, and at a scale of relevance to the global climate. The scientist needs to think creatively and broadly, across disciplines. This is a highly collaborative endeavor, and to maximize impact the scientist will be expected to actively collaborate with other scientists as well as the policy, economic, and legal teams both within EDF and externally.
 <br/>
 <br/>
 The Scientist needs to be a creative thinker, interested in a wide range of innovations, and willing to learn, explore, and lead in strong collaboration with internal and external teams. This work will result in original publishable research, including with external academic collaborators, &ldquo;in-house&rdquo; analyses for use by other EDF staff, and other communications aimed at policy makers, journalists, and the public at large. The Scientist will report to a Senior Climate Scientist.
 <br/>

Scientist, Climate Innovation

Rockefeller University

<div>Organization Overview: Our visual perception of the outer world is the creation of active brain processes that structure and select the information provided by the eyes. The Laboratory of Neural Systems is interested in the neural processes that form object representations as well as those that allow attention to make those representations available for cognition. Our laboratory aims to understand the inner workings of this system,from the level of individual cells to the interactions of brain areas,in order to answer questions such as: How does face selectivity emerge in a single cell? How is information transformed from one face patch to another? What is the contribution of each face patch to different face recognition abilities,like the recognition of a friend or a smile? How do the different face patches interact in different tasks? And how is information extracted from a patch when a perceptual decision is made? Overview:
<div>
The Laboratory of Neural Systems is seeking a highly motivated research assistant (RA) with an excellent academic background to work on a cutting-edge neuroscience project at the interface of vision, face perception and social cognition. Through a seemingly effortless process, the brain makes sense of an extremely complex visual world, relying on stored memories and experiences. While it is known that the neural systems for vision and cognition are recurrently connected, how these systems process information together to support perception and understanding remains unknown. Using the face processing system as a model, this NIH-funded project seeks to understand the coordination and information processing between the prefrontal and ventral cortical regions. Under the supervision of a postdoctoral fellow (Dr. Ryan Morrill), the RA will learn and employ state-of-the-art techniques in electrophysiology and optical multiphoton imaging to record neural activity, and then use computational analysis and neural network modeling techniques to uncover patterns in these large datasets. The RA will, under proper guidance, present results at scientific meetings, and is expected to co-author a scientific paper. The RA will develop skills in systems neuroscience, animal behavior and computational modeling, and will be in a great position to enter and succeed in a variety of excellent biomedical graduate programs. The ideal candidate would commit to 2 years in the lab.</div>
