Postdoctoral Associate, Center for Sustainability Science and Strategy

Posting Description

POSTDOCTORAL ASSOCIATE Center for Sustainability Science and Strategy (two openings) in a multi-disciplinary team developing a new framework for exploring the multi-sector implications of decarbonization pathways. The postdoctoral associates will collaborate with an interdisciplinary team of economists energy / land / water / air / infrastructure modelers climate scientists social scientists statisticians and software engineers to develop and apply flexible modular multi-sector cross-scale human-climate-impacts modeling framework to advance understanding of multi-sector feedbacks and implications of different decarbonization pathways under uncertainty. Will contribute to one or more of the following areas: advancing methods and computational techniques for human systems models sectoral impact models and related Earth system models; or developing implementing and testing approaches for integrating model components within the broader modeling framework (e.g. efficient and flexible model linkages feedbacks coupling); or advancing and applying individual/coupled model components to provide actionable information to advance energy and decarbonization planning. Will be expected to work closely with a sub-team as well as collaborate with the broader full team.
