<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-family:Helvetica;color:black;background:white">Position Description:
</span></b><span style="font-family:Helvetica;color:black;background:white">We are seeking applicants for a Postdoctoral Research Fellow in decision analysis and environmental impacts of shipping at the Institute for Resources, Environment and Sustainability
at the University of British Columbia, Vancouver campus, situated on the traditional, ancestral, and unceded territories of the Musqueam (xʷməθkʷəy̓əm) People. The goal of this position is to develop a systematic environmental impact assessment framework that
will help inform technology development and deployment decisions for marine shipping. By applying this framework to real-world decision-making case studies, we aim to identify technology options that have the potential to reduce impacts from shipping across
the full suite of environmental performance areas, considering synergies and trade-offs between areas. These environmental performance areas include, but are not limited to: climate, water quality, air quality, biodiversity, noise, and socio-cultural impacts
mediated through the environment. This position will be supervised by Drs. <a href="https://leap-ires.org/">
<span style="color:black">Amanda Giang</span></a> and <a href="https://ires.ubc.ca/person/terre-satterfield/">
<span style="color:black">Terre Satterfield</span></a>, who form a complementary interdisciplinary mentorship team, with diverse expertise in social-ecological systems, environmental impact assessment, and technology policy. Clear Seas will provide mentorship
in knowledge mobilization and engagement with partners. This position will provide an opportunity to conduct applied interdisciplinary research, in partnership with civil society and government, that has the potential to directly inform decisions on the future
of shipping in Canada. </span><span style="font-family:Helvetica;color:black"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
