[ES_JOBS_NET] Vacancy: Postdoctoral Associate for land management in climate mitigation and adaptation

[Sonali McDermid]

The NYU Department of Environmental Studies is seeking a postdoctoral
associate for a project investigating how and to what extent land use and
management can serve climate change mitigation and adaptation. This may
include investigating the regional contributions of varied agricultural
management systems; projects relating to reforestation, afforestation
and/or avoided deforestation; and other related interventions and
approaches. This project will assess these strategies’ carbon sequestration
potentials (e.g. additivity) and viability (e.g. permanence,
reversibility), particularly in the context of changing climate variability
and extremes. Moving beyond carbon, this project will also seek to quantify
the associated co-benefits and trade-offs across other environmental and
ecological axes (e.g. hydrology, biodiversity, etc.).

The successful candidate will be based in the growing Dept. of
Environmental Studies at NYU’s Washington Square campus in New York City.
The appointment will provide ample opportunity to engage with the highly
interdisciplinary department faculty and our growing focus area on land
systems, including natural and social science dimensions. The postdoctoral
associate will also have the opportunity to directly collaborate with
researchers at the NASA Goddard Institute for Space Studies and National
Center for Atmospheric Research/Colorado State University, including using
outputs from state-of-the-art ecosystem and climate models, and with
projects/activities conducted by the Agricultural Model Intercomparison and
Improvement Project.

The anticipated start date for the position is mid to late Spring 2024
(with some flexibility in this timeframe).
