<span style="font-family:arial,helvetica neue,helvetica,sans-serif"><span style="color:#363636;font-size:12px;line-height:normal">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.</span><br>
<br>
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.<br>
<br>
These roles include: <br>
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.<br>
<br>
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 (<a href="http://dlcc.databasin.org" target="_blank">http://dlcc.databasin.org</a>). 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.<br>
<br>
3. GIS support for data compilation, processing and analysis. GIS data compilation support <br>
includes locate, pre-process, and load GIS data into the Desert LCC platforms ScienceBase (<a href="http://www.sciencebase.gov" target="_blank">http://www.sciencebase.gov</a>) and the Conservation Planning Atlas. This includes preparing or creating data and metadata and running geospatial analyses and reporting results.<br>
<br>
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.<br>
<br>
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. </span>
