Columbia is hiring a tenure-track asst. prof. in computational ecology and evolution! If you use or develop computational tools—AI, data science, stats—to deepen our understanding of eco/evo, evaluate nature-based solutions, or inform and manage impacts on human wellbeing, please apply!

Very happy to be part of this new paper brilliantly led by @calebscoville.bsky.social on new opportunities for stakeholder participation with dynamic management compared to static management of natural resources! 🌳🌏🙋

My lab at UCLA is hiring 1-2 PhD students this cycle! Join us to work at the intersection of cognitive science and AI applied to pressing societal challenges like climate change. More info about me: rachit-dubey.github.io My lab: ucla-cocopol.github.io Please help repost/spread the word!

The call for applications has just been released for #CV4Ecology2026!! This three-week intensive program trains ecologists and conservation practitioners to develop their own AI tools for their own data. When: Jan 12-30, 2026 Where: SCBI @smconservation.bsky.social

Dave Thau, @sarameghanbeery.bsky.social, and I are organizing biodiversity webinar talks for @itu.int AI for Good. Next week, I'll chat with Iadine Chades (Monash) on the promise and impact of decision AI for biodiversity. Please share questions you'd love to ask Iadine or our upcoming speakers!

I'm hiring for a machine learning data scientist & research assistant for summer 2025! Join me on a project on invasive species management with an innovative startup doing on-the-ground removal of environmentally destructive invasive animals. Paid, full-time w/ possibility to extend.

Thrilled to be co-organizing the Tackling Climate Change with Machine Learning workshop at #ICLR2025 and bringing in these fantastic keynote speakers! Join us April 28 (in Singapore or free livestream) to hear from @yisongyue.bsky.social on AI for science and Iadine Chades on AI for biodiversity.

Are you interested in boldly reimagining how we can finance #naturerecovery at scale, beyond mainstream market mechanisms? We are advertising a one-year postdoctoral researcher at @naturerecovery.bsky.social at Oxford. Closing date April 30th tinyurl.com/muebaf86 @oxfordgeography.bsky.social

🌎 Join CEGA for #MeasureDev2025: Biodiversity on Land and at Sea on April 29 at The World Bank in Washington, DC! Explore cutting-edge biodiversity measurement approaches with leading researchers & policymakers shaping conservation strategies. #datasky Register: cega.berkeley.edu/event/measur...

Can we use RL to plan with combinatorial constraints? Our #ICLR2025 paper combines deep RL with mathematical programming to do so! We embed a trained Q-network into a mixed-integer program, into which we can specify NP-hard constraints. w/ brwilder.bsky.social, Elias Khalil, Milind Tambe

I’m really looking forward to joining the Oxford Internet Institute on Tuesday! In-person and online, 5:30pm GMT.

I got to see the amazing @lilyxu.bsky.social present at the last @ai-env-summit.bsky.social and I can highly recommend attending her talk 🤩

🚨BREAKING. From a program officer at the National Science Foundation, a list of keywords that can cause a grant to be pulled. I will be sharing screenshots of these keywords along with a decision tree. Please share widely. This is a crisis for academic freedom & science.

Our paper on unlocking the value of ranger-based monitoring (RBM), now out in Conservation Letters! Our work is a practical guide on when RBM may be useful for biodiversity conservation and protected area management, with some hard-won lessons for implementing RBM effectively. 🐘🌳🪺🤳🥾🪖

Submit your work on data-centric machine learning to tackle climate change and nature-based challenges! ☀️🌱🐋🌳 And join us at #ICLR2025 in April in Singapore 🌏
