[ES_JOBS_NET] Postdoctoral Research Positions: NCAR Advanced Study Program- Rising Voices, Changing Coasts

[Melissa Moulton]

The National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) seeks up to three
Advanced Study Program (ASP) postdoctoral fellows to work on projects
related to the *Rising Voices, Changing Coasts project* (
https://www.rvcchub.org/). The positions will be based at NCAR in Boulder,
Colorado with hybrid or fully remote work options. These are 2-year
positions (1-year term with possibility for renewal of an additional year).

Background:

Haskell Indian Nations University has received $20 million in funding from
the U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF) to lead a new research hub where
Indigenous knowledge-holders will work with university-trained scientists
to address the impacts of a changing climate on their coastal communities.
NCAR is a partner in this five-year grant to fund the Rising Voices,
Changing Coasts (RVCC) Hub.

The RVCC-Hub goals are to:
1) co-create convergence research with social and earth sciences and
Indigenous knowledge to improve modeling and prediction of coastal
processes that support decision-making by Indigenous communities around
mitigation and adaptation;

2) develop a successful, inclusive framework for cross-cultural convergence
research that can be adopted and adapted by future research collaborations;

3) broaden participation amongst Indigenous students and researchers, and
train a new generation of diverse convergence research scientists;

4) increase administrative and technological infrastructure to support
current and future research with and by Indigenous scientists and
communities.

The place-based research is focused on four regions: Alaska (Arctic),
Louisiana (Gulf of Mexico), Hawai‘i (Pacific Islands), and Puerto Rico
(Caribbean Islands). Three broad topic areas of interest are Changing
Coastal Weather, Coastal Erosion and Flooding, and Coastal Ecosystems.

The ASP-RVCC postdoctoral fellows will join the community of the Advanced
Study Program (https://edec.ucar.edu/advanced-study-program) and conduct
independent or collaborative, culturally relevant research as related to
the RVCC-Hub priorities and questions, and contribute to the RVCC goals.

Applicants are encouraged to contact the ASP Science Advisor Scott Landolt (
landolt at ucar.edu) or NCAR EdEC Director Rebecca Haacker (rhaacker at ucar.edu) for
questions about the positions and potential projects and mentors.

Salary: $73,000/ annually in year 1, with a small increase in year 2

I acknowledge that the land I live and work on at NCAR is the Traditional
Territory of the Arapaho, Cheyenne, and Ute. I recognize that at the UW I
work, teach, and learn on the ancestral homelands of the Coast Salish
people and the shared waters of the Suquamish, Tulalip, and Muckleshoot
nations.
