<div dir="ltr"><div>As part of a recently commissioned macroeconomic analysis of the cost of climate inaction, led by myself and by Trevor Houser of Rhodium Group, I am looking for a graduate student or recent graduate in the area of climate impact science (broadly construed) to support the study as a research assistant or research analyst. The position would be based in the New Jersey/New York area, as either a university-based graduate research assistant, a university-based postdoctoral research analyst, or a Rhodium Group research analyst. The primary tasks of the RA would involve reviewing literature on climate impacts, scoping scenarios for quantitative impact analysis, and analyzing Earth system model output. The RA would also have the opportunity to gain familiarity with economic modeling of climate change impacts. This will be a fast-paced RAship, as it is in support of a project with a strict spring 2014 deadline. Accordingly, we can only consider students who will have completed their classwork requirements. Familiarity with the climate impacts literature and climate change scenarios is essential, as are strong writing skills and the ability to conduct quantitative analyses in MATLAB or a similar environment.</div>
