The analysis of longitudinal data requires thoughtful statistical modeling, and there are few better places for an anthropologist to gain experience with multilevel modeling, which translates both to academic and non-academic jobs afterward. Here's an example paper:

I’m still looking for ecologists that would like to Zoom in with my students and me to talk about your research and ways in which you incorporate GIS sensors into your research 🌏🌍🌎
AFGE Local 3403 President Jesus Soriano joined Rep. Zoe Lofgren and AFGE National President Everett Kelley to highlight the damage being done to NSF by the Trump Administration and discuss a letter sent to Congresswomen Lofgren signed by 150 NSF employees

The position begins with approximately one year of fieldwork in Nicaragua (it is beautiful there), followed by approximately two years in Leipzig (it is beautiful there, too) to analyze data and write up results.
The study community of sedentary horticulturalists is undergoing a demographic transition (hormonal contraception is now available) and adapting to environmental circumscription from non-Indigenous homesteaders, which limits the spatial extent of foraging, farming, and gold panning activities.
The longitudinal research design draws inspiration from animal behaviorists, who pioneered the science of long-term research on stable populations, successively handing off data to rising generations of scholars. Many highly-regarded analyses and publications arise from this collaborative approach.
There is a fully-funded PhD position at the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology to pursue dissertation research among the Mayangna of Nicaragua, expanding a longitudinal study of subsistence strategies and behavioral ecology. Please share the posting!

The National Science Foundation continues to be threatened with major cuts.
The link below lists the Congresspeople who are on the frontlines of deciding these cuts this week and would be well worth a quick call today if they’re in your state to advocate for not cutting NSF’s budget.

Are you from one of these states? Then we need your help to save American science!
The Senate Appropriations Committee will be marking up the President's Budget Request for science on Wednesday. People have been saying the proposed cuts "decimated" US science, but that's wrong: they are apocalyptic

Ecologists I need a favor! 🌎🌍🌏
I am teaching a GIS class for freshmen. I want to zoom in for like 15-20 min with other ecologists that are using drones, uav, collars, biologgers, telemetry, or any type of sensors to study wildlife. 1️⃣

And there's a 6% cut to NOAA's budget (we're still waiting to know that detail in the Senate version).
House appropriations meets tomorrow and Thursday.
So if you want to share your thoughts on the 23% cut to NSF, here's who to call: appropriations.house.gov/about/member...
