Economist/Fire and Natural Resources
USDA Forest Service
Scientist Recruitment InitiativeBrief description of proposed RWU/graduate research supported through the position: The rising costs of wild-land fire management protection and suppression programs, nationally, has highlighted the need to analyze the underlying causes. In addition to federal, state and local regulations contributing to escalating costs, society's desires to maintain our natural resources and ecological processes in a sustainable manner has changed the way in which the Forest Service manages our national forests. Combined with an increase in the cost of protecting forests from wild-land fires, there has been a switch from commodity oriented management of forest resources to a more non-commodity approach.. The person hired to participate in the scientist recruitment initiative would be assisting in helping the unit in developing methods and models to better determine the economic costs of wild-land fire management programs. Additionally this person will participate in providing economic analysis support to the development of the next generation of strategic fire planning models the unit is responsible for. Another area in which the person is expected to assist the program is in the analysis of the economic impact of wild-land fire on the stream of goods and services produced by forested and range lands, particularly of the non-market variety.
Desirable academic qualifications of the student recruit: A minimum of a bachelor-of-science degree is the required level of education sought to begin the scientist's development and advance education. An intense interest and commitment to completing a doctorate degree in economics of natural resources with a major emphasis in fire economics is the goal being targeted. The candidate should have a strong background in economics, statistics, and mathematics. Fire management knowledge and experience are desirable but can be acquired through the mentoring support that will be put in place.
Colleges/universities (beyond those identified in the Service-wide multicultural work force initiatives such as the Historically Black Colleges and & Universities, the American Indian Higher Education Consortium, and the Persons with Disabilities Initiative) to be contacted for potential recruits/applicants: University of Nevada-Reno, Colorado State University
