All documents must be in English or include an official English translation.
Application Deadline 5/24/2024 3:00:00 PM Eastern Time Zone Description *Applications will be reviewed on a rolling-basis.
USFS Office/Lab and Location: A fellowship opportunity is available with the US Department of Agriculture (USDA) Forest Service (USFS) within the Rocky Mountain Research Station (RMRS) located in Missoula, Montana.
At the heart of the U.
S.
Forest Service's mission is their purpose.
Everything they do is intended to help sustain forests and grasslands for present and future generations.
Why? Because their stewardship work supports nature in sustaining life.
This is the purpose that drives the agency’s mission and motivates their work across the agency.
It’s been there from the agency’s very beginning, and it still drives them.
To advance the mission and serve their purpose, the U.
S.
Forest Service balances the short and long-term needs of people and nature by: working in collaboration with communities and our partners; providing access to resources and experiences that promote economic, ecological, and social vitality; connecting people to the land and one another; and delivering world-class science, technology and land management.
Research Project: This project is aimed at developing software for the analysis of wildland fire potential and danger across multiple scales.
This system implements multiple physically-based models of fuel moisture and fire spread into desktop analysis tools that are used by land managers to set critical decision points for wildland fire management activities across the United States.
The participant would be part of a research team comprised of a variety of disciplines including ecologists, foresters, engineers, physical scientists, data scientists and contracted software developers.
Learning Objectives: The participant will learn valuable and practical software development skills while contributing to the improvement of these critical land management tools.
The participant will learn how to use software code management systems, such as Github, to manage software development in a small team environment and they would also gain valuable experience in common programming languages such as C++ and Python.
The project would also introduce the participant to common data science analytical techniques and it would explore ways to implement that functionality in C++.
The project would also expose the participant to commonly-used scientific data types as well as broad overviews of key geospatial concepts.
Additionally, they would gain skills in the development of robust documentation for software APIs using common open-source tools.
Mentor: The mentor for this opportunity is Matt Jolly (william.
