Dear Colleague,
Could you please post the job announcement listed below. Thank you!
A partnership of universities and agency affiliates seeks post-
doctoral associates for interdisciplinary research on the
coupled land-atmosphere-aquatic environmental and economic systems of
the Northeastern U.S. Focus is on regional
system dynamics with respect to energy demand and production, biofuels
and land use, water pollution, ecosystem
services and economic sustainability. The work considers a century
timeframe, from contemporary to future, through
application of regional economic, environmental policy, technology
adoption, and broader global change scenarios.
Positions are supported by a grant from the National Science
Foundation to enable successful candidates to further
develop their strengths within the context of a major national effort
to forward regional integrated modeling. A three-
year commitment to complete the work and publish results is expected.
Capacity to work in a large and diverse team at
several professional levels, from students through senior scientists,
is essential.
Qualifications: Eligible candidates should have a recent PhD. Please
apply directly to one of the collaborating institutes
below, with subject line: "Post-doctoral Position--Regional Modeling".
Include curriculum vitae, statement of research
interests and contact information for three references.
