Research will focus on the San Juan Bay Estuary, where whole-system dynamic simulation models will be developed to examine the effects of climate change (e.g. accelerated sea level rise, increasing storm frequency and intensity) in modifying the impacts of co-occurring stressors (e.g. wastewater discharges, nitrogen loading) on key ecosystem services (e.g. flood abatement, contaminant processing, carbon sequestration) and human health endpoints (e.g., water-borne diseases) to support community development of climate adaptive strategies. Approaches to the development of the dynamic simulation models and recommendations will be transferable to other communities subject to similar co-stressors of wastewater nitrogen and climate change in the US. Research may include: i) contact with key stakeholders and collaborators (e.g. local and federal health and ecological scientists, territorial government agencies, citizens, NGOs) to characterize key issues, information needs and availability; ii) review of existing wastewater reports, climate change reports, mangrove and estuarine systems models; iii) integrate available information, data, and models into a whole-system dynamic simulation model to predict effects of wastewater discharges on ecosystem services and human health under alternative climate change and adaptation scenarios; iv) investigate disparate impacts on vulnerable populations including children and impoverished communities; v) in concert with stakeholders and collaborators, develop restoration and climate adaptive recommendations for improving coastal resiliency of the San Juan Bay estuary, supported by simulation models and scenario testing.</td></tr><tr style><td style="padding:0.375em 1em;vertical-align:middle;line-height:1.1;border:1px solid rgb(221,221,221);background-color:rgb(255,255,219)"><strong style="font-family:'Lucida Grande','Lucida Sans Unicode','Lucida Sans',Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif">Geographical location of position:</strong></td><td style="padding:0.375em 1em;vertical-align:middle;line-height:1.1;border:1px solid rgb(221,221,221);background-color:rgb(255,255,219)">Narragansett, RI</td></tr><tr style="background-color:rgb(238,238,238)"><td valign="top" style="padding:0.375em 1em;vertical-align:middle;line-height:1.1;border:1px solid rgb(221,221,221);background-color:rgb(255,255,219)"><strong style="font-family:'Lucida Grande','Lucida Sans Unicode','Lucida Sans',Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif">High priority research areas:</strong></td><td style="padding:0.375em 1em;vertical-align:middle;line-height:1.1;border:1px solid rgb(221,221,221);background-color:rgb(255,255,219)">Development and integration of dynamic system level models that investigate impacts of co-occurring stressors of climate change and wastewater discharge on ecosystem services (e.g., water quality, flood abatement, carbon sequestration) and human health (e.g., water-borne illnesses).</td></tr><tr style><td valign="top" style="padding:0.375em 1em;vertical-align:middle;line-height:1.1;border:1px solid rgb(221,221,221);background-color:rgb(255,255,219)"><strong style="font-family:'Lucida Grande','Lucida Sans Unicode','Lucida Sans',Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif">Scientific project area:</strong></td><td style="padding:0.375em 1em;vertical-align:middle;line-height:1.1;border:1px solid rgb(221,221,221);background-color:rgb(255,255,219)">Environmental Sustainability/Sustainability Systems Modeling/Social Sciences</td></tr><tr style="background-color:rgb(238,238,238)"><td valign="top" style="padding:0.375em 1em;vertical-align:middle;line-height:1.1;border:1px solid rgb(221,221,221);background-color:rgb(255,255,219)"><strong style="font-family:'Lucida Grande','Lucida Sans Unicode','Lucida Sans',Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif">Educational requirements:</strong></td><td style="padding:0.375em 1em;vertical-align:middle;line-height:1.1;border:1px solid rgb(221,221,221);background-color:rgb(255,255,219)">Ph.D. in Ecosystem Science, Ecology, Mathematics, Public Health, Public Policy, Epidemiology, Statistics, Socioeconomics, or a related field.</td></tr><tr style><td valign="top" style="padding:0.375em 1em;vertical-align:middle;line-height:1.1;border:1px solid rgb(221,221,221);background-color:rgb(255,255,219)"><strong style="font-family:'Lucida Grande','Lucida Sans Unicode','Lucida Sans',Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif">Specialized training and/or experience preferred:</strong></td><td style="padding:0.375em 1em;vertical-align:middle;line-height:1.1;border:1px solid rgb(221,221,221);background-color:rgb(255,255,219)">Experience developing and applying dynamic system level models to conduct scenario testing (e.g., responses to climate change, wastewater, or other stressors);
