<p>The Center for Climate and Resilience Research (CR)2 <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).
(CR)2’s sponsoring institution is University of Chile, and Universidad
de Concepción and Universidad Austral de Chile are associated
institutions. (CR)2 is the point of convergence of researchers across
disciplines who jointly address 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, (CR)2 researchers were
prolific in disciplinary research as well as in interdisciplinary
collaboration with high scientific impact and relevant outcomes for
policy making.</p>
<p>In October 2017 and after and external review processes, CONICYT has
renewed the (CR)2 funding for the next five years. In this second stage,
(<strong>CR)2 will be organized around interdisciplinary questions</strong>
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.</p>
<p><font size="4">We hereby invite <strong>applications for a 4 year research associate position in atmospheric chemistry modeling</strong>,
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 <strong>Department of Geophysics, Universidad de Chile, in Santiago</strong>,
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.</font></p>
<p>The research associate will engage with 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.</p>
<h5>Requirements</h5>
<p>The successful candidate should have a <strong>PhD in Earth Sciences (e.g., Atmospheric Science)</strong>
and demonstrate his/her research capacity, leadership, and team work
ability in an interdisciplinary environment. As noted before, candidates
must submit a 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.</p>
<p>Interested applicants should <strong>upload their CV, list of publications, two letters of recommendation and a research proposal</strong> (max 10 pages including references and figures), to <a href="http://www.cr2.cl/call-for-associate-fellow-atm-chem/">http://www.cr2.cl/call-for-associate-fellow-atm-chem/</a> at the latest by<strong> October 15th 2018, 23 hours Santiago, Chile local time</strong>. From the same page you can download our reports and our continuity plan, as well as the corresponding evaluations.</p><p>
</p><div class="gmail-wpb_text_column gmail-wpb_content_element">
<div class="gmail-wpb_wrapper">
<p>A first selection of candidates will be made by the center’s
principal investigators, and the best three candidates will be
interviewed. The final decision will be made by the principal
investigators in consultation with our advisory panel. We expect to
communicate the decision by November 15th 2018. Candidates are expected
to start as early as January 2nd 2019 and no later than May 31st 2019.</p>
