An interdisciplinary team of engineers, environmental scientists and economists, at the University of Virginia seeks applications for a postdoctoral research associate to lead a newly funded research initiative exploring the tradeoffs inherent in carbon negative emissions technologies (NETs). NETs effectively run climate change in reverse and range from pathways that are highly engineered (e.g., direct air capture) to those that promote natural processes (e.g., coastal blue carbon) with many in between (e.g., bioenergy with carbon capture). An interdisciplinary team comprised of Andres Clarens (Engineering Systems and Environment), Scott Doney (Environmental Sciences), and Bill Shobe (Policy/Economics) are working to collect environmental and socio-economic data and perform modeling using integrated modeling tools that will enable us to explore key tradeoffs between NET pathways.

We seek colleagues who will contribute technical expertise, as well as their own research interests, to a dynamic team of leading researchers in carbon cycling and human response to climate change. A PhD in a related field is required by the start date. While the ideal candidate must have technical skills in integrated modeling and systems-scale research, the applied nature of the research is broad and seeks to identify the potentials of disciplinary intersections. Ultimately, the postdoc will conduct interdisciplinary research between the PIs and complement our existing strengths.

This is a one-year appointment; however, appointment may be renewed for an additional two, one-year increments, contingent upon available funding and satisfactory performance.

To apply, visit http://jobs.virginia.edu<http://jobs.virginia.edu/> and search on Posting Number 0624327. Complete a Candidate Profile online and attach the following: Statement of research interests and experience within the broad area of integrated modeling (two-page single-spaced), cover letter describing interest and qualifications related to the position, curriculum vitae, and a list of three references including complete names, addresses, telephone numbers, and e-mail addresses. These items should be included in a single pdf and attached as "Other 1". Review of applications will begin December 1, 2019; however, the position will remain open until filled.

With one of the highest graduation rates of minority undergraduate students and one of the highest percentages of women engineering students among public universities, the University of Virginia is fundamentally committed to increasing the diversity of its faculty and staff. UVA is an affirmative action and equal opportunity employer. We welcome nominations of and applications from women, members of minority groups, veterans and individuals with disabilities. We also welcome others who would bring additional dimensions of diversity to the university's research and teaching mission. We believe diversity is excellence expressing itself through every person's perspectives and lived experiences.
