Postdoctoral Researcher in Freshwater Ecology and Conservation
We seek a full-time postdoctoral Freshwater Ecology and Conservation Scientist to coordinate and implement a project within the Alliance of Amazon Waters (AAA).
About the Alliance of Amazon Waters (AAA)
The Amazon Waters Alliance (AAA) is a coalition of 30 organizations across multiple countries, dedicated to conserving the integrity and connectivity of the Amazon Basin’s aquatic ecosystems through science-based actions, public policy advocacy, and multi-stakeholder collaboration. Its main objectives include integrated watershed management, sustainable fisheries, mitigating infrastructure impacts, and ensuring collective action for transboundary conservation.
Project Background
By 2026, the Amazon Waters Alliance (AWA) aims to enhance protection, management, and connectivity of 27 million hectares of freshwater social-ecological systems in the Amazon Basin. This will be achieved by deepening collective knowledge of these systems’ conditions, using evidence to influence policies and programs, and fostering partnerships prioritizing Indigenous Peoples, local communities, civil society, and science. As part of this effort, AWA will generate, synthesize, and share actionable data on fish, water, and other key variables through collaborative, multi-source approaches to inform decision-making and promote effective management.
