<p class="MsoNormal">Dear Colleagues,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The Climate Science Team at the Environmental Defense Fund is seeking a recent Ph.D. recipient to work collaboratively with other EDF scientists in advancing policy relevant climate science in support of EDF-wide programmatic activities.
This position is available now. <a href="https://www.edf.org/jobs/high-meadows-postdoctoral-climate-science-fellow">
Apply here>>></a><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The postdoc will report to the Senior Climate Scientist, and will focus on research related to extreme weather impacts of climate pollutant emissions and their mitigation, such as how different greenhouse gases contribute to the frequency
and intensity of events such as heat waves and drought. The postdoc will also explore the sensitivity of various climate change-induced societal damages (e.g. coastal property flooding, crop losses, adverse health effects) to the rate of global warming. Particular
consideration will be given to applicants with expertise in climate modeling, extreme weather events, or damage functions, and an interest in operating at the intersection of science and policy. This is a two year fellowship contingent on satisfactory progress
toward agreed-upon annual objectives.<o:p></o:p></p>
