While FSMLs play a central role in enabling place-based research, the tools that support them typically focus on access and logistics, with limited ability to capture, track, or connect downstream research activities and outputs. As a result, institutions, researchers, and local communities lack reliable ways to discover, assess, and demonstrate the long-term impact of research conducted at these sites. FAIR Station is a multi-year initiative to design, build, and pilot a next-generation, open-source platform that extends existing reservation management systems into a comprehensive environment for managing research activity across its full lifecycle. By embedding best practices for research data management, metadata capture, and downstream stewardship directly into operational workflows, FAIR Station aims to support FSML administrators, institutions, and researchers in tracking research outputs, improving interoperability, and strengthening long-term data stewardship with minimal additional administrative burden. The project builds on the existing Reserve Application Management System (RAMS), which currently only supports reserve visits across the University of California system. FAIR Station will evolve RAMS into an open-source platform, hosted by the University of California Office of the President (UCOP) and made available to the broader global field station community. The project is led by the UC Curation Center (UC3) at the California Digital Library (CDL) and the University of California Natural Reserve System (UCNRS), with fiscal sponsorship and administrative support provided by Code for Science & Society (CS&S). Funding for this position is provided by the Gordon & Betty Moore Foundation. Position Overview You will lead the end-to-end product effort, from discovery and roadmap development through pilot deployments, with an emphasis on pragmatic, interoperable workflows, clear value for field stations, and long-term sustainability. You will coordinate a cross-functional team spanning engineering, UX, and community engagement; partner with collaborating infrastructures such as PID and metadata providers; steward an advisory group; and communicate progress, outcomes, and impact to funders and stakeholders.

Enforce a lean architectural approach to prevent feature bloat, ensuring the platform remains lightweight, maintainable, and functional in a resource-constrained environment. Coordinate with the UC3 Product Team to ensure the platform remains aligned with the broader product strategy across other areas of focus, including research data management, digital preservation, data publishing, and persistent identifiers. Collaborate with the UCNRS team to ensure the platform continues to meet their user needs while also facilitating adoption by stations outside of the UC system. User & Community Engagement Lead user research with field-station staff, researchers, and administrators; synthesize needs into intuitive, low-overhead workflows. Convene the advisory group; incorporate public-interest, equity, and accessibility considerations. Build partnerships with open infrastructure (e.g., DataCite, Crossref, ROR, ORCID; repository and protocol services) to ensure smooth PID and metadata flows. Recruit and coordinate a network of users who can champion the platform to their peers in the FSML community. Delivery & Operations Steward the transition from existing reservation and logistics workflows to new capabilities, ensuring continuity of service, clear communication with current users, and appropriate support models during and after pilots. Guide engineering/UX through iterative prototyping, usability testing, and staged pilots; de-risk integrations and change management. Document decision logs, product requirements, and implementation guides for pilots and future adopters. Coordinate reporting to funders; contribute to communications, demos, and community presentations. Strategy & Sustainability Ensure the platform is designed as a public good: open-source, globally applicable, and usable by under-resourced field stations without adding administrative or financial burden. Contribute to articulating FAIR Station’s impact narrative for funders, institutions, and the broader research community. Map adoption pathways (hosted/managed service vs. self-hosted patterns), support models, and costing.

Instructor: Dr. Eric Hochberg (ASU BIOS) Take a three-week scientific expedition to study coral reefs in Bermuda and add lectures. This intensive course is geared towards upper-level undergraduates, graduate students and even postdocs. It examines how environmental factors influence reef benthic communities and fundamental reef metabolic processes. Students gain hands-on experience with advanced field and lab techniques to measure reef function, water chemistry, light, and hydrodynamics, while exploring how reefs respond to environmental change. The overall aim of this course is to explore how environment impacts reef benthic communities and the fundamental processes of reef metabolism. Production of organic and inorganic carbon underpins growth and maintenance of the reef ecosystem. These processes are strongly influenced by environmental parameters including water chemistry, hydrodynamics, light availability/capture, and temperature, as well as the taxonomic composition of the community itself. Reef geomorphological and ecological zonation demonstrates that benthic communities have adapted to (and influence) their prevailing environmental conditions. At the same time, conditions are never static, and communities must acclimate to short- and long-term changes in their environment. A vitally important question is how global change will impact this baseline of reef function. This course provides fundamental background in reef functional ecology, as well as training in the measurement and interpretation of reef processes and environmental parameters. This is an intensive course - a semester of material is compressed into three weeks. Course logistics include readings, lectures, discussions, presentations, and extensive laboratory and field work. Next to gaining a solid understanding of coral reef ecology and reef functional processes, students gain hands-on experience with state-of-the-art instrumentation and techniques for collecting and analyzing reef community and environmental data, including building underwater photomosaics, measuring current profiles, characterizing the underwater light field, characterizing water quality, and quantifying rates of primary production and respiration using traditional and advanced approaches. Additionally, all participants will earn the PADI AWARE Specialty Certification: Coral Reef Conservation. Prerequisites: Completion of university-level biology and ecology courses; marine science and/or oceanography are desirable. The course will require boat work and the ability to work comfortably in the water with a mask and snorkel. SCUBA certification is highly recommended, as those who are SCUBA certified* will be able to undertake fieldwork underwater and learn scientific diving skills. Course Fees & Expenses: $5,000 (includes tuition, campus accommodation and meals) Scholarships & Fellowships: Suitably qualified applicants of all nationalities are eligible to apply for bursary funding towards course fees, which include 3-weeks tuition, campus accommodation and meals. Bursary funding is not awarded for travel related expenses or medical/travel insurance, which are the sole responsibility of participants.
