<p><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:Candara">A postdoctoral position is available in the Earth and Environmental Systems Institute at the
Pennsylvania State University. Successful candidates will become part of an interdisciplinary
research network on Sustainable Climate Risk Management (SCRiM, </span><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:Candara;color:rgb(0,0,255)"><a href="http://scrimhub.org">scrimhub.org</a></span><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:Candara">). Centered at
Penn State and linking 18 universities and five research institutions in six nations, SCRiM addresses
the question: </span><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:Candara;font-style:italic">What are sustainable, scientifically sound, technologically feasible, economically
efficient, and ethically defensible climate-risk management strategies? </span><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:Candara">SCRiM 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.
The network 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.
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:Candara">The successful candidate will join a transdisciplinary research team to support the social science
analysis of two central areas of concern: (i) the role of values in climate change science and risk
management and (ii) how to improve values-informed decision making under deep uncertainty.
Among other activities, the postdoctoral fellow will assist in developing climate risk management
communication and decision support tools, and facilitate their testing and use in experimental and
real-life settings. The ideal candidate would have experience designing and testing decision support
tools, a strong background in a social or decision science field, and an appreciation of the role
values play in decision making. An understanding of climate change mitigation, adaptation, and
geoengineering strategies is desirable. Interests in decision making under uncertainty, integrated
assessment, and in collaborations involving Earth scientists, statisticians, decision analysts,
economists, and philosophers would be further advantages for applicants to this position.
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:Candara">The position is available immediately and will remain open until filled. Initial appointment will be for
a period of one year, with excellent possibility of renewal for one or more additional years. The
salary will be competitive, commensurate with experience, and will comply with Penn State
University guidelines. Successful completion of a background check is required prior to
employment.
