work closely with. The theme is environmental catastrophe, or more
specifically "ecological tipping points, climate change and multi-scalar
risks". They're open to natural and social scientists and have a policy orientation, so an EPP-type could be a great fit. Perhaps you could
forward this if you know of any potential candidates.<br><br>Thanks, and I hope all is well with you!<br><br>Seth<br><br><br>------<br>The Centre for the Study of Existential Risk (CSER, <a href="http://cser.org" target="_blank">http://cser.org</a>) at Cambridge University<br><a href="http://cser.org/cser-is-recruiting-postdoctoral-research-associate-fixed-term/" target="_blank">http://cser.org/cser-is-recruiting-postdoctoral-research-associate-fixed-term/</a><br><br>CSER is looking to recruit a postdoctoral research associate to work on the project: Ecological tipping points, climate change and multi-scalar risks.<br><br>The project aims to improve our understanding of how ecological tipping points, climate change and socio-political systems interact with each other. Interested applicants will be asked to propose a research project that contributes to these aims. The precise topic will depend on the specific expertise of the appointee and examples are contained in the Further Information. Relevant disciplines include: biology, ecology, conservation, mathematical modelling, planetary science, anthropology, psychology, human geography, decision and policy sciences.<br><br>Applicants are encouraged to generate their own ideas and break new research ground, within the general remit of the centre. Examples of relevant topics (for illustrative purposes only) include:<br><br>- An assessment of the nature of tipping points, of ways of identifying them, and of the policy challenges of responding to uncertain thresholds,<br>- an assessment of extreme risks associated with escalating sea level rise,<br>- the potential for feedback effects to aggravate the interplay between climate change and global food security, resulting in increased risk.<br>- a more focussed assessment of an issue, process or system with global importance, such as<br> 1 the fire sensitivity of tropical forests,<br> 2 specific positive feedback processes, such as how salinisation hinders vegetation growth, leading to increased evaporation, in turn resulting in further salinisation, or,<br> 3 the effects on oceanic ecosystems and foodstocks stemming from acidification.<br><br>For further information and instructions on how to apply, please click here [<a href="http://www.jobs.cam.ac.uk/job/9999/" target="_blank">http://www.jobs.cam.ac.uk/job/9999/</a>].<br><br>Please refer questions to Ms. Dikey Ghung at <a href="mailto:ddg22@cam.ac.uk" target="_blank">ddg22@cam.ac.uk</a>.<br><br>Closing date: 11 May 2016.<br><br><br><br>------------------<br>Seth D.
