SCRiM addresses the question: <i style="margin:0px;padding:0px">What are sustainable, scientifically sound, technologically feasible, economically efficient, and ethically defensible climate-risk management strategies?</i> The network catalyzes fundamental, mission- oriented, and transdisciplinary research to characterize climate risks and trade-offs associated with risk management instruments such as mitigation, adaptation, and geoengineering. It provides unique opportunities for research, education, outreach, decision support, and professional development. SCRiM Postdocs enjoy ample opportunities for transdisciplinary research collaboration as well as professional mentoring by a team of experts in relevant disciplines.</p><p class="" style="margin:0px;padding:8px 0px;font-size:13.6000003814697px;line-height:1.4em;color:rgb(29,29,29);font-family:'Open Sans',sans-serif">The successful candidate will join a research team that analyzes two central areas of concern: (i) the role of coupled ethical-epistemic issues in climate change science and (ii) how to improve decision-making under conditions of risk and uncertainty to ensure ethical adequacy. The ideal candidate would have a strong background in the ethical and/or epistemic dimensions of scientific practice and an appreciation of the ethical issues raised by deep uncertainty. Interests in decision-making under uncertainty, integrated assessment, and in collaborations involving Earth scientists, statisticians, decision analysts, economists, social scientists, and philosophers as well as an understanding of climate change mitigation, adaptation, geoengineering strategies are desirable.</p><p class="" style="margin:0px;padding:8px 0px;font-size:13.6000003814697px;line-height:1.4em;color:rgb(29,29,29);font-family:'Open Sans',sans-serif">The position will begin in August 2015.
