The Southeast Regional Invasive

Species and Climate Change Network (SE RISCC ) is a regional network embedded within the Southeast Climate Adaptation Science Center (SE CASC ) at NC State and funded by the U.Geological Survey ( USGS ) through a competitive cooperative agreement with NC State. SE RISCC’s mission is to synthesize relevant science, connect researchers with land managers, and improve proactive invasive species management in a changing environment across the southeastern United States and U.The network brings together researchers, land managers, policymakers, and partner organizations to share knowledge, identify emerging needs, and strengthen the connection between science and on-the-ground management. As a Pack member, you belong here, and can enjoy exclusive perks designed to enhance your personal and professional well-being.

Perks and Benefit eligibility is based on Part-Time or Full-Time Employment status. The role spans regional network coordination, scientific synthesis, knowledge exchange, and actionable research—helping move ideas and findings from research settings into practical tools, informed decisions, and on-the-ground management.

At the center of this work, you’ll get the opportunity to strengthen connections across the region and help partners turn emerging science and knowledge into practical, science-informed solutions for invasive species management.

Manage the SE RISCC Network: Lead network communications, webinars, and website content.

Advance Scientific





Synthesis and Actionable Research: Identify and coordinate high-priority research themes and cooperative projects addressing invasive species and climate-related management needs. Synthesize research findings into manager-focused briefs, management resources, decision-support materials, and other practical tools. Engage students, postdocs, and faculty in applied research and synthesis activities that contribute to regional management solutions.

Coordinate

Events, Webinars, and Communities of Practice: Plan and coordinate regional workshops, webinars, partner meetings, and manager-focused training. Facilitate communities of practice focused on priorities such as early detection, rapid response, climate-informed risk assessment, and management interventions. Contribute to network reporting, evaluation, and communications.

Engage with National, Interagency, and Inter-Regional Networks: Represent SE RISCC in national RISCC and inter-regional network coordination. Connect regional priorities with applicable federal strategies and broader invasive species initiatives. If you like to take initiative, work independently while contributing to a collaborative team, and connect people and ideas across different backgrounds, sectors, and disciplines, this role offers an opportunity to turn high-quality science into meaningful action.
