The Environmental Studies program at CU-Boulder is a hub for facilitating interdisciplinary collaboration in environment and sustainability. Environmental Studies courses integrate the academic divisions of natural science, social science, and humanities, providing skill and knowledge applicable to the pursuit of solutions to environmental challenges faced globally, nationally, regionally, and locally.This position will join a multidisciplinary group of faculty committed to positive change in environmental educational practices, and enhancing diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) in program curricula and culture. Our unit is committed to the concept that a diverse and inclusive workforce is better positioned to find and solve new and compelling problems and to training students that thrive in diverse and inclusive teams.

The Postdoctoral Associate will lead a research program that seeks to address topics such as how classroom-based curriculum modifications impact students’ interpersonal skills, learning experience and understanding of environmental studies content, how inclusion-promoting interventions can be sustainably integrated into the environmental studies curriculum, and what system-level and structural changes are effective in supporting departmental change among others.

The associate may use qualitative, quantitative, and mixed-methods approaches, and will have the opportunity to work with faculty and students to evaluate educational programs and interventions. The associate will teach a two-credit graduate course once annually in Inclusive Pedagogy and Leadership. The knowledge generated by the associate’s work will contribute to the development of organizational change and inclusive educational approaches that will be applicable to a wide range of settings, including in the academic, public, and private sector.

Hey everyone! My name is Brian Iezzi I’m a Ph.D. student here in Materials Science. I am currently working on a project with Ph.D. students conducting environmental and economic Life Cycle Analyses (LCAs) in East Africa and I am looking for students from UM LSA, SPH, Ross, or Information who may be interested in getting involved. The projects include biodiesel from alternative feedstocks in Uganda, renewable energy and waste management at copper mines in Zambia and the Democratic Republic of the Congo, and evaluating a new cooling system for solar thermal/photovoltaic systems in Rwanda. Involvement may include consulting with students working on these projects along with taking deeper dives into LCA databases and software. If you’re interested in learning more please don’t hesitate to reach out to me at bciezzi@umich.edu with any questions (please let me know by April 10th if you are interested).

[Applications are now open for the 2019 pairing scheme. They will close on 7 April 2019. If you have any questions about the application process please contact public.affairs@royalsociety.org] [Each year 30 research scientists are paired with UK parliamentarians and civil servants. They learn about each other’s work by spending time together in Westminster and the researcher’s institutions.

Those taking part gain an insight into how research findings can help inform policy making, and come away with a better understanding of how they can get involved.
…

How does the scheme work?
The scheme takes place annually, beginning with a ‘Week in Westminster’. Over the week the scientists take part in workshops, hear from invited speakers and spend two days shadowing their pair. This year’s week in Westminster will take place from Sunday 24 – Thursday 28 November 2019.]

[As part of Governor Cuomo’s Green New Deal, New York State is embarking on a nation leading effort to transform the State’s energy economy and entire building stock to carbon neutrality by mid-century. To achieve the goals of the Green New Deal, New York State will require well-crafted long-term and near-term strategies, policies and programs. The Net Zero Buildings Fellow will play a significant role in the development and implementation of NYSERDA’s strategies for transitioning the building sector to carbon neutrality, including significant work on the following issues: deep energy efficiency including advanced envelopes and integrated mechanical systems, electrification of HVAC systems, smart buildings and building-grid interactivity, onsite renewable generation, battery storage, and integration of electric vehicle charging infrastructure.]
