-------

Location: NOAA Global Systems Laboratory in Boulder, CO.
Position Term: Two Year Term.
Application Deadline: This position will be posted until April 12.
Relocation: Partial relocation support provided.
Work Authorization: No visa/immigration support provided.
Hiring Salary Range: $58,710 - $73,387
Full Salary Range: $58,710 - $95,404

What You Will Do:

This Postdoctoral researcher will advance the goals of the US Global Change Research Program's (USGCRP) Climate and Health Monitor and Outlook (CHMO) activity (see: https://dx.doi.org/10.1175/bams-d-20-0054.1], exploring opportunities to transition climate and health research into new national information products and services for vector-borne disease prediction.

The postdoc will pilot new capabilities relevant to a potential new national capacity to predict environmental and ecological drivers of vector-borne disease. In particular, the postdoc may be directed to focus on any or all of the following priorities of the CHMO team:
*        Systematic review and meta-analysis of the sensitivity of disease transmission and vector ecology to environmental conditions
*        Survey and synthesis of observation and prediction systems for climate-sensitive vector-borne diseases. Fellow may also do research on ideal observing systems, such as by conducting an OSSE<https://cires.colorado.edu/research/research-groups/project/climate-observing-system-simulation-experiments> for an earth system and vector ecology observing system links to mosquito surveillance
*        Improvement of NOAA environmental data, delivery/service for infectious disease prediction - improving the accessibility and usability of current NOAA products, and potentially developing new derivative produces and tools or scripts for data access and processing
*        Create national and/or global spatial model and map of VBD risk for specific diseases, vectors or geographies
*        Pilot new approaches to experimental operational modeling of climate-sensitive health outcomes, such as through multi-model ensembles.
*        Cultivate and sustain robust relationships with health decision-makers who serve as the principal target audience for CHMO products.

The Researcher will work with team members from many agencies, but specifically will work closely with a core team leading CHMO development, led by NOAA, CDC, and NIH experts also affiliated with the USGCRP Cross-cutting Interagency Working Group for Climate and Health (CCHHG). The postdoc will also work closely with climate and VBD researchers funded under the NOAA Climate Program Office's International Research and Applications Project (IRAP). The postdoc will be expected to work effectively in both a team setting and in a focused, autonomous research mode.

The position includes conducting scientific, statistical analyses, designing and developing experimental web-based prototype products, giving presentations at scientific meetings, and publication of peer-reviewed articles.
