The University of California, Berkeley, is one of the world's leading institutions of higher education, distinguished by its combination of internationally recognized academic and research excellence; the transformative opportunity it provides to a large and diverse student body; its public mission and commitment to equity and social justice; and its roots in the California experience, animated by such values as innovation, questioning the status quo, and respect for the environment and nature. Since its founding in 1868, Berkeley has fueled a perpetual renaissance, generating unparalleled intellectual, economic and social value in California, the United States and the world.

Departmental Overview

Based in Berkeley's Rausser College of Natural Resources, the new James M. and Cathleen D. Stone Center for Large Landscape Conservation at UC Berkeley (Stone Center) aims to catalyze new forms of university engagement to increase the pace, scale, equity and durability of large scale conservation. The Stone Center will pursue this mission through community-engaged research, stakeholder workshops, training initiatives, policy advising, and public communications. A central element of the Stone Center's work is to support multiple “Living Labs,” where university scientists work with -- and learn from - communities on the front lines of environmental change. The first of these is the Beyond Yellowstone Program in Wyoming, the second will be based in California, and others are to be determined. In its first 5 years, the Stone Center's faculty directors expect to develop a strong emphasis on the conservation of economically and culturally important biodiversity in the western United States. Initial campus partners include Berkeley Wildlife, the Berkeley Institute for Parks, Biodiversity and People, and the Eric and Wendy Schmidt Center for Data Science and Environment. The Stone Center team will include administrative and communications staff, program (i.e., Living Lab) managers, postdoctoral scientists, and a network of faculty affiliates and student researchers.

Position Summary

The Executive Director will provide creative vision and energetic leadership to the Stone Center, cultivating a high impact research program on large-scale, collaborative, trans-jurisdictional nature conservation, and connecting this program to community partners and policymakers through convening, training, and communications initiatives. Working with two faculty co-directors, the Executive Director will expand the Stone Center's initial mission, vision and goals into a long-term strategic plan, and lead all aspects of the center's day- to-day operations, including providing senior management oversight for a number of research and professional staff, and for projects involving many postdoctoral scientists and student trainees.
