[ES_JOBS_NET] Post Doctoral Scholar: Nature-based Solutions for Mitigating Flood Impacts

[Alexandra Ponette]

We seek a postdoctoral scholar with expertise in ecosystem services and
spatial modeling to join a NOAA-funded interdisciplinary project on the
social costs of flooding. The researcher will lead an effort to integrate
flood inundation modeling with ecosystem services frameworks to estimate
impacts of flooding at regional to continental scales. Our goal is to
assess the role of nature-based solutions (e.g. wetland or floodplain
restoration) in mitigating flood impacts on downstream communities, with a
particular focus on inequities of these impacts among racial, income, and
other socio-economic groups.

The ideal candidate will have a PhD in social or natural sciences with
clear training and publications in ecosystem services. Strong skills in
programming, geospatial modeling and analysis, and integrating large and
diverse datasets are essential. Demonstrated experience and interest in
collaborating within large interdisciplinary groups (i.e., natural and
social scientists and engineers) is important. There will be opportunities
to develop mentoring skills while working with undergraduate students and
graduate research fellows.

The postdoc will be co-supervised by three UVM faculty: Beverley Wemple (
Beverley.Wemple at uvm.edu), Taylor Ricketts (Taylor.Ricketts at uvm.edu), and
Brendan Fisher (Brendan.Fisher at uvm.edu). Please contact any of these people
for more information.

Anticipated start date January 1, 2023, but there is some flexibility for
the ideal candidate. Applications will be considered until the position is
filled.

To apply: please send a CV, names and contact information for three
references, and a cover letter outlining research interests, expertise and
availability to ciroh at uvm.edu and reference Position ID PDS#411.
