We seek outstanding early career scholars interested in any aspect of climate systems engineering. The University of Chicago is building a substantial research cluster, including the anticipated addition of ten new faculty lines, on the science, technology, and public policy of Climate Systems Engineering. Our goal is to advance understanding of the benefits, risks, and governance of technologies that might reduce the impacts of accumulated greenhouse gases, and to educate students who will face the challenges of managing industrial civilization on a fragile planet. The CSEi?s topical scope includes open-system carbon removal such as enhanced rock weathering, solar geoengineering, and interventions to limit the loss of glacial ice. The CSEi welcomes research from across fields including the sciences, humanities, social sciences, public policy, and law. The CSEi Research Fellows program aims to develop the next generation of research leaders who will shape the future of climate systems engineering for the benefit of people and the planet. CSEi Research Fellows will work closely with UChicago faculty mentors, but their research and funding are independent. The program will help them develop strong research networks by facilitating collaboration among the Research Fellows cohort and by ensuring that they have ample opportunities to interact with the whole community of CSEi-affiliated faculty and research leaders. Securing a faculty mentor in advance is strongly preferred, and applicants are encouraged to reach out early to engage a mentor. UChicago faculty members from any discipline may potentially serve as mentors, regardless of whether they have prior experience with climate systems engineering. To offer a sense of the range of opportunities for collaboration, leading faculty from a variety of fields have contributed statements about research interests and possibilities for collaboration. These statements, available on the CSEi website, are examples of how faculty research interests might overlap with climate systems engineering. Applicants may reach out to any UChicago faculty member about these or other topics. This is a two-year position, starting between August 3 ? September 16, 2027, that offers a $95K salary per year, dedicated workspace, and research and travel funding of $10,000 per year. This position is benefits eligible - for information on benefits, please consult the University of Chicago Benefits Guide: https://mybenefits.nfp.com/UChicago/benefits-guide/. Additionally, the University will provide a one-time payment of $4,000 for relocation assistance, payable at the end of the first month of employment at the University. Please note that this payment is taxable. Teaching is not required, though an optional teaching opportunity during the second year of the fellowship may be available, subject to need and requisite approval. In-person interaction is a crucial part of the program, and Research Fellows are expected to participate actively in the life of the CSEi. Qualifications Required: * Completion of all requirements for a Ph.D. or other terminal degree appropriate to the field is required at the time of appointment. Preferred: * 0-3 years professional experience. * Pre-matching with a faculty mentor and enthusiastic recommendation from the mentor. * Academic and professional success in the early career stage (typically graduate school and the first three years after completion of degree) and the potential to make an important contribution to the field of climate systems engineering. Residency The fellowship requires residency in the Chicago area. For UChicago applicants: Applicants who are currently postdocs at UChicago or who received terminal degrees from UChicago are eligible, provided their research and mentor arrangements are distinct from their PhD or current postdoctoral research, taking them in new directions and forging new connections. Application Instructions Applications must be submitted online via Interfolio at: https://apply.interfolio.com/191139 The following materials are required: * C.V. * Statement of research objectives that explains how the research will advance understanding of climate systems engineering, and how the research relates to the applicant?s prior work and skills. (maximum 2 pages). * Writing sample consisting of a chapter, essay, or article. * Two letters of reference: please provide contact information for two letter writers. * Name of UChicago faculty member who has agreed to serve as mentor. If applying without a pre-matched mentor, please provide the names of faculty members whom you want to work with and an explanation of why you were not able to secure a mentor in advance. Complete applications must be submitted via Interfolio by 11:59 PM Eastern Time on November 2, 2026.

LUMCON provides unparalleled opportunities in coastal, marine, and oceanographic science and education to the research community and public alike. Anchored by a first-rate marine laboratory, the DeFelice Marine Center, LUMCON is embedded in Louisiana's dynamic wetland environment and conveniently located on a gateway to the open waters of the Gulf. LUMCON operates a world-class fleet of research vessels unmatched on the US Gulf Coast. In 2023, LUMCON expanded its programs through the opening of a maritime research and outreach facility (Blue Works) on the Maritime Campus in Houma, Louisiana. POSITION OVERVIEW The Coastal Biogeochemistry Lab at the Louisiana Universities Marine Consortium (LUMCON), led by Dr. Havalend Steinmuller, is seeking a Postdoctoral Researcher to join our research team. We are looking for a highly motivated, collaborative, and organized scientist to lead field and laboratory research on how salinity gradients and hydrologic alteration drive biogeochemical transitions across coastal Louisiana wetlands.

The project pairs an intensive field measurement campaign (porewater chemistry, continuous redox and hydrology monitoring, soil characterization, gas flux, and nitrogen cycling) with a reciprocal marsh-organ transplant experiment designed to isolate salinity and impoundment effects on biogeochemical process rates. Field data collected by the postdoc will directly parameterize reactive transport and land-surface models developed by our national laboratory partners, and the postdoc will serve as the primary scientific point of contact between the field and modeling teams. This candidate will directly support the Exploring Gulf Region Ecosystem Transitions (EGRET) project, an interdisciplinary and multi-institutional collaboration focused on disturbance-driven ecosystem transitions and their impacts across the United States Gulf Coast.

A cohort of postdoctoral researchers will be hired across multiple institutions to collaboratively support scientific advances guided by AI/ML, remote sensing, process-based modeling, field observations and experiments, and advanced analytical techniques. The postdoc will report directly to Dr. Steinmuller and will work closely with co-investigators Dr. Brian Roberts and Dr. Ken Krauss. The postdoc will help coordinate the work of project technicians and will mentor undergraduate laboratory assistants and/or volunteers. The postdoc will be expected to lead peer-reviewed publications, present at national meetings, and participate in outreach efforts associated with the Coastal Biogeochemistry Lab and LUMCON. There will be opportunities to develop independent research within the scope of the project and to collaborate on other projects within LUMCON. This is a full-time, twelve-month appointment based at LUMCON's DeFelice Marine Center in Cocodrie, Louisiana. The initial appointment is for one year, renewable for a second-year contingent on satisfactory performance and continued funding. The approximate start date for this position will be November 2026.
