Postdoctoral Fellows will engage with geoscience researchers (faculty, students) and community members. We welcome applicants with research interests across geosciences and related environmental disciplines, and we are particularly interested in applicants who address issues of environmental justice and who have demonstrated the ability or potential to engage with communities for translational science results. We seek individuals who have technical expertise in one or more of the following topics: computational modeling, geospatial analysis, field observations, laboratory analysis, and the alignment of scientific data with social indicators of resilience.
Participatory research projects will be developed across three research themes:
- Water Resources: Projects will address water-quality and water quantity resilience challenges that may disproportionately affect underserved communities in Austin.
- Climate Extremes: Projects will focus on two key climate challenges faced by urban communities - extreme heat and extreme precipitation/flooding.
- Communities & Landscapes: Projects will address resilience challenges as it relates to land-use dynamics, civic green space quality and capacity for ecosystem services, and soil quality for urban gardens and other urban sustainability practices and processes.
The full description of this position, including application instructions, start dates and salary information is available at:https://bit.ly/cressle-fellow. Review of applications will begin August 1st.
