Jay Gulledge is the Senior Scientist and Program Manager for Science and Impacts at the Pew Center on Global Climate Change, where he oversees the center’s efforts to assess the current state of scholarly knowledge about the science and environmental impacts of climate change and to communicate this knowledge to policy-makers and the public.

Jay is also an adjunct associate professor at University of Wyoming, where his research program in soil biogeochemistry is based. He serves as associate editor for soil biology for Ecological Applications, a peer-reviewed journal published by the Ecological Society of America.

Prior to joining the Pew Center and the University of Wyoming, Jay served on the faculties of the Tulane University and University of Louisville, where he developed courses in global environmental change, microbial ecology, and ecosystem ecology. His research investigates how environmental change interacts with soil biology to alter ecosystem function, such as the effects of sea level rise on soil microbial biomass, respiration, and methane emission from coastal wetlands, and the effects of nitrogen deposition on bacterial uptake of atmospheric methane in upland soils.

Jay was a Life Sciences Research Foundation Postdoctoral Fellow at Harvard University (1997-1999) and a postdoctoral research associate with the Bonanza Creek (Alaska) Long-term Ecological Research Program of the National Science Foundation (1996-1997). He earned a PhD (1996) from the University of Alaska Fairbanks and M.S. (1991) and B.S. (1988) degrees from the University of Texas at Arlington.
