(CR2, <a href="http://www.cr2.cl/">http://www.cr2.cl/</a>) is a center of excellence created in 2013 with
funding from the National Commission for Scientific and Technological Research
(CONICYT). CR2’s sponsoring institution is University of Chile, and Universidad
de Concepción and Universidad Austral de Chile are associated institutions. CR2
is the point of convergence of researchers across disciplines who jointly
address <span>the understanding of the Earth
System in a changing climate and contribute to the evaluation and design of
mitigation and adaptation measures in order to strengthen climate resilience in
Chile. During its first period, CR2 researchers were prolific in disciplinary
research as well as in interdisciplinary collaboration with high scientific impact
and relevant outcomes for policy making.<span> <br></span></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;margin:0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;font-size:10pt;font-family:Arial"><br><span style="font-family:Cambria" lang="EN-US"><span><span></span><span></span></span></span></p>

processes, CONICYT has renewed the (CR)2 funding for the next five years. In
this second stage, (<b>CR)2 will be organized around interdisciplinary
questions</b> concerning water shortage and extremes, changes in land use,
coastal zones, cities, and a new area focused on climate governance and the interface
between science and policy. How climate change impacts on rural (forest) fires,
urban air pollution, harmful algal blooms and major storms in arid regions, and
how society modulates and copes with these disturbances, will be grand
questions to be inter and transdisciplinary tackled in the coming years.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;margin:0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;font-size:10pt;font-family:Arial"><br><span style="font-family:Cambria" lang="ES"><span></span></span></p>

research associate position in atmospheric chemistry modeling</b>, addressing
climate-chemistry interactions and impacts, beginning in 2019. We expect the
successful candidate to work with us full time, subject to a yearly review of
his/her performance. The positions will be held at the <b>Department of
Geophysics, Universidad de Chile, in Santiago</b>, but we expect the successful
candidate to visit the partner institutions on a regular basis, taking
advantage of the large diversity of expertise within the (CR)2 as well as the
center’s distributed resources.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;margin:0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;font-size:10pt;font-family:Arial"><br><span style="font-family:Cambria" lang="ES"><span></span></span></p>

existing projects and initiatives but it is expected that he/she will formulate
and rapidly implement his/her own research plan within the framework of (CR)2
priorities for the next few years (see above). We also expect a proactive
cooperation with the center’s efforts on in/outreach, science communication,
education and development of national and international scientific
partnerships. Teaching (in Spanish) is not mandatory but desirable with a
dedication of up to half a day per week. Fluency in English is required. If not
a Spanish speaker, learning the language while working at (CR)2 is recommended.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;margin:0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;font-size:10pt;font-family:Arial"><br><span style="font-family:Cambria" lang="ES"><span></span></span></p>

research proposal (up to 10 pages with background, objectives, expected
results, and work plan) to develop in the next four years within (CR)2.
Candidates are expected to apply for complimentary funding via CONICYT or other
sources in Chile and elsewhere. The starting salary will be between 3000 to
4000 USD per month depending on qualifications and experience, i.e., ca. 6 to 7
times the median monthly income in Chile.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;margin:0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;font-size:10pt;font-family:Arial"><br><span style="font-family:Cambria" lang="ES"><b><span></span></b></span></p>
