href="https://climateresearch.ca/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/Postdoc_ad_NBCS_2022.pdf">post-doc
position in Earth system modelling of nature-based climate
solutions</a>.<br>
</p>
<p>We invite applications from highly motivated PhDs with an
interest in policy-relevant climate science and public outreach.
The successful applicant will be part of a research project
investigating the climate implications of nature-based climate
solutions. The position will involve:<br>

<p>
• Design, execution and analysis of Earth system model
simulations<br>
• Preparation of scientific publications<br>
• Knowledge mobilization<br>
<br>
The successful applicant will work under the supervision of Dr.
Kirsten Zickfeld, in collaboration with Dr. H. Damon Matthews at
Concordia University, and Dr. Andrew MacDougall at St Francis
Xavier University. Profs. Zickfeld, Matthews and MacDougall lead
dynamic research groups with extensive expertise in Earth system
modelling and climate-carbon cycle interactions, and have
successfully collaborated for several years.<br>
<br>
Funding is available for one year, with possibility of renewal for
one additional year. The preferred start date is 1st October 2022.
<br>
