Successful candidates will become part of an interdisciplinary research network on Sustainable Climate Risk Management (SCRiM, </span><a href="http://scrimhub.org/" target="_blank" style="font-size:12.8px">scrimhub.org</a><span style="font-size:12.8px">). Centered at Penn State and linking 18 universities and five research institutions in six nations, SCRiM addresses the question: </span><b style="font-size:12.8px">What are sustainable, scientifically sound, technologically feasible, economically efficient, and ethically defensible climate-risk management strategies?</b><span style="font-size:12.8px"> 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><br style="font-size:12.8px"><div class="" title="Page 1"><div class=""><div class=""><div class=""><p><font face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif">The successful candidate will join an transdisciplinary research team that analyzes two main questions: (i) How can paleoclimatic and instrumental records improve our mechanistic understanding of the climate system and inform climate predictions? (ii) How can this scientific information be used to improve the design of climate-risk management strategies? The ideal candidate will have a strong quantitative background (e.g., applied mathematics, Bayesian statistics, or physics) and some prior exposure to Earth system science. The candidate will have considerable freedom to collaboratively design the research within the scope of the broad questions outlined above. Possible example projects include the analysis of current uncertainties surrounding climate projections, strategies on how to reduce these uncertainties, and how to design robust climate change mitigation and adaptation strategies in the face of deep uncertainty and learning. </font></p></div></div></div></div><span style="font-size:12.8px">For more information please contact Dr. Klaus Keller (<a href="mailto:klaus@psu.edu">klaus@psu.edu</a>). </span><span style="font-size:12.8px">To apply, visit </span><font color="#1155cc"><span style="font-size:12.8px"><u><a href="https://psu.jobs/job/59660">https://psu.jobs/job/59660</a></u></span></font><span style="font-size:12.8px">.
