Design


                                US Fish and Wildlife Service Seeks
Applicants for Landscape Conservation Planning and Design Project
        The
Desert LCC is embarking on a Climate-Smart Landscape Conservation Planning
and Design project that will: produce spatially explicit data and
information about focal resources, chosen by the Desert LCC members; seek
to understand the effects of climate change and other landscape stressors
on natural resources; integrate social and economic information to
understand what these resources might look like in the future; and result
in collaborative adaptation responses that are useful and implementable by
our partners.

The successful applicant will work in cooperation with the Desert LCC
Science Coordinator (U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service), other Desert LCC
staff, Steering Committee, and members to implement phases 2-3 of the
Desert LCC's Climate-Smart Landscape Conservation Planning & Design Draft
Implementation Plan.

These roles include:
1. Project management. The project manager should have significant
expertise in landscape ecology and/or complex spatial analysis and
modelling relevant to priority ecosystems in the Desert LCC geography.
Expertise in human dimensions of conservation is also highly relevant to
this project.

2. Coordination with the Bureau of Land Management to integrate information
from their Rapid Ecoregional Assessments within the Desert LCC into the
Desert LCC Conservation Planning Atlas (http://dlcc.databasin.org). This
will also include working with Bureau of Land Management staff to develop
trainings for Desert LCC members on interpreting and using the Rapid
Ecoregional Assessment data in the Conservation Planning Atlas.

3. GIS support for data compilation, processing and analysis. GIS data
compilation support
includes locate, pre-process, and load GIS data into the Desert LCC
platforms ScienceBase (http://www.sciencebase.gov) and the Conservation
Planning Atlas. This includes preparing or creating data and metadata
and running geospatial analyses and reporting results.

4. Planning and logistical support for 3 workshops, and related pre- and
post-workshop webinars in 2015, as described in the Draft Implementation
Plan. Proposal should include approximately $10,000 for travel assistance
for participants at each of the three workshops ($30,000 total). Proposal
should also include simultaneous translation for one of the workshops, to
be held in Aguascalientes, Mexico.

5. Communications. Writing 6 articles summarizing the progress and results
of the project at regular intervals suitable for publication in Desert LCC
newsletters and outreach materials.
