Postdoctoral Scholar: Earth System Analysis for Climate Risk Management


The Earth and Environmental Systems Institute (EESI) at Penn State, 
University Park seeks outstanding applicants for two postdoctoral 
scholar positions focusing on analysis of strategies to manage climate 
risks. Successful candidates will join a transdisciplinary research team 
that analyzes two main questions: (i) How can paleoclimatic and 
instrumental records improve our mechanistic understanding of the Earth 
system and inform hazard assessments? (ii) How can this scientific 
information be used to improve the design of climate-risk management 
strategies?


The ideal candidate would have a strong background in a field such as 
Earth system science (e.g., atmospheric science, geosciences, 
oceanography), Bayesian statistics, operations research, decision 
analysis, or applied mathematics. The postdoctoral scholar will have 
considerable freedom to collaboratively design the research within the 
scope of the broad questions outlined above. Possible example projects 
include uncertainty analysis of climate projections, decision analysis 
of climate change adaptation and mitigation strategies, and risk 
analysis of proposed geoengineering strategies. The positions provide 
unique opportunities for research, education, outreach, decision 
support, and professional development, as well as mentoring by a team of 
experts in relevant disciplines.
