The Department of Earth System Science at the University of California, Irvine is seeking a postdoctoral scholar to study climate and air pollution impacts and solutions. This position is within the Climate, Pollution, and Solutions group led by Prof. Lyssa Freese. This position has a flexible start date. Applications can be submitted here: https://recruit.ap.uci.edu/JPF09874
Position perks:

Project/Position description:
There are three potential research tracks for the Postdoctoral Scholar:
1) Climate-economic modeling of uncertainty in climate damage
2) Climate-energy system modeling of the role of climate uncertainty in the energy system
3) Air pollution-energy system modeling of the impact of policy on air quality
The postdoctoral scholar will be expected to focus on at least one of the above tracks, and if interested, they will have the opportunity to address two of the above tracks, so long as their background and experience is suitable. Responsibilities will depend upon the chosen project direction, potentially including integration of climate emulation into economic models, pairing climate model data with energy system models, or combining energy system models with chemical transport models. Postdoctoral scholars are expected to lead peer reviewed scientific publications, and present at relevant conferences.
