subject: Post-doc: Invasive Species Population Dynamics, Temple U, US

The Integrative Ecology Lab at Temple University is seeking creative and
productive applicants for a postdoctoral researcher conducting
mathematical modeling of invasive spotted lanternfly (Lycorma
delicatula) population dynamics.  The spotted lanternfly is an invasive
Asian planthopper that was first introduced to the US outside of
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania in 2014, and has since spread to five nearby
states. In addition to natural spread, human-assisted lanternfly spread
occurs during all life stages: adults and nymphs hitchhike on cars and
it can spread long distances in the egg stage because it lays eggs on
mobile outdoor objects like recreational vehicles and landscaping
materials. It feeds on over 70 plant species, sometimes at very high
densities, including economically important species like maples, apples,
hops, and grapes. Invaded vineyards have lost entire crops, affecting
wine production. We are just beginning to model its pattern of spread
and potential to disrupt agricultural and natural ecosystems. Billions
of dollars are under threat. You can be at the forefront of
cross-disciplinary modeling research on this emerging invasion.

The position will be co-advised by Matthew Helmus (Biology) and
Benjamin Seibold (Math) at Temple University. Helmus jointly runs the
Integrative Ecology Lab (iEcoLab) with the mission to integrate
biodiversity science with human ecology to understand contemporary
patterns of biodiversity and its functioning within ecosystems
(www.iecolab.org/).  Seibold directs the Center for
Computational Mathematics and Modeling (C2M2) on cross-disciplinary
research in applied and computational mathematics
(c2m2.cst.temple.edu/). To read more about their spotted
lanternfly research see
www.iecolab.org/projects/spotted-lanternfly/. The postdoc would
work closely with two other postdocs and two graduate students also
working on spotted lanternfly at Temple. Finally, the postdoc would
interact with a USDA funded multi-university team of cross-disciplinary
scientists and public stakeholders and would regularly attend working
groups and meetings on this invasive pest.

Expertise in mathematical modeling, partial differential equations,
numerical methods, and programming is required. Candidates should
have a Ph.D. in Biology, Mathematics, Physics, or
other related fields. Most importantly, the successful applicant will be
well-organized, able to work both independently and in a team setting,
and motivated to learn. This position is ideal for those craving a
career in the exciting, fast-paced world of biodiversity science.
Applications should be emailed to both Dr. Helmus (mrhelmus@temple.edu)
and Dr. Seibold (seibold@temple.edu). Please send as a single PDF:
-Cover letter outlining qualifications, experience and why you are
interested in the position
-Curriculum vitae including links to authored publications
-Name, phone number, and email addresses of three references

Review of applications will begin on October 23rd and will continue
until the position is filled.

News Release 19-021
NSF leads federal partners in accelerating the development of
transformational, AI-powered innovation
New funding opportunity anticipates $200 million in long-term
investments in AI research and education over the next 6 years

The National Science Foundation today announced the creation of a new
program that will significantly advance research in AI and accelerate
the development of transformational, AI-powered innovation by allowing
researchers to focus on larger-scale, longer-term research.

The National Artificial Intelligence Research Institutes program
anticipates approximately $120 million in grants next year to fund
planning grants and up to six research institutes in order to advance AI
research and create national nexus points for universities, federal
agencies, industries and nonprofits.

“Advances in AI are progressing rapidly and demonstrating the potential
to transform our lives,” said NSF Director France Córdova. “This
landmark investment will further AI research and workforce development,
allowing us to accelerate the development of transformational
technologies and catalyze markets of the future.”

“The National Science Foundation is at the cutting edge when it comes to
this Administration’s efforts to prioritize AI research and development.
These institutes will advance our national strategy for U.S. leadership
in AI, leverage important multisector R&D partnerships and support
groundbreaking AI innovation for the benefit of the American people,”
said Michael Kratsios, Chief Technology Officer of the United States.

The program, led by NSF in partnership with the National Institute of
Food and Agriculture, U.S. Department of Homeland Security’s Science &
Technology Directorate, U.S. Department of Transportation’s Federal
Highway Administration and U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, has both
planning and institute tracks. The planning track will support planning
grants for up to two years and $500,000 to enable teams to develop
collaborative plans and capacity for full institute operations. The
institute track will support cooperative agreements of $16 million to
$20 million for four to five years (up to $4 million per year) for the
creation of AI Research Institutes in an initial set of high-priority
areas:
-Trustworthy AI
-Foundations of Machine Learning
-AI-Driven Innovation in Agriculture and the Food System
-AI-Augmented Learning
-AI for Accelerating Molecular Synthesis and Manufacturing
-AI for Discovery in Physics
The AI Research Institutes program will support the advancement of
multidisciplinary, multi-stakeholder research on larger-scale,
longer-time-horizon challenges in AI research than are supported in
typical research grants.

“These institutes will accelerate the transition of AI innovations into
many economic sectors while also nurturing and growing the next
generation of AI researchers and practitioners,” said NSF Acting
Assistant Director for Computer and Information Science and Engineering
Erwin Gianchandani. “This long-term, substantive and highly visible
investment in AI research and workforce development will realize the
potential of AI and enable the U.S. to maintain global leadership.”

The AI Research Institutes program demonstrates NSF’s continued
leadership in AI, building upon decades of support for transformative
AI innovations, workforce development, and advanced and scalable
computing resources enabling AI.

NSF’s ability to bring together a vast range of scientific disciplines –
including computer and information science and engineering, cognitive
science and psychology, economics and game theory, engineering and
control theory, ethics, linguistics, mathematics, philosophy, and more –
uniquely positions NSF to lead the nation in addressing key research
challenges.

Earlier this year, NSF joined other federal agency partners in
announcing the release of the 2019 Update to the National Artificial
Intelligence (AI) Research and Development (R&D) Strategic Plan. In
addition, Advances in AI are core to many of the “10 Big Ideas for
Future NSF Investments,” key among these being Harnessing the Data
Revolution and the Future of Work at the Human-Technology Frontier.

Grant proposals for the National AI Research Institutes program are due
to NSF no later than Jan. 28, 2020, for Institute proposals and Jan. 30,
2020, for planning grant proposals.
