<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="border:none windowtext 1.0pt;padding:0in">The Climate Accountability Lab headed by Prof. Geoffrey Supran at the University of Miami’s Rosenstiel School of Marine, Atmospheric, and Earth Science has a funded opening for a full-time
postdoctoral researcher. The researcher will apply quantitative and qualitative applied social science methods to one or more projects investigating the roles that legacy and social media companies, government agencies, academics, and other institutions and
networks have played in mediating the public affairs campaigns of fossil fuel interests.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="border:none windowtext 1.0pt;padding:0in">The research focus of the Climate Accountability Lab is climate change disinformation and propaganda. Specifically, we investigate the history, dynamics, impacts, and injustices of
organized opposition to climate action, to elucidate the historical and sociological dimensions of the climate challenge and to inform initiatives to hold bad actors accountable. Ongoing areas of research include the corporate capture of academia, the revolving
door between fossil fuel interests and government agencies, and digital climate deception on social media and news platforms. The researcher will be part of a growing team of graduate and postgraduate colleagues. Most research projects will entail collaborations
with other academic and/or non-profit organizations and will involve both academic publishing and extensive public outreach and engagement.</span></p>

<p style="margin:0in;background:white;vertical-align:baseline"><span style="color:black;border:none windowtext 1.0pt;padding:0in">Candidates must have strong capabilities in relevant research methods, which could include a combination of quantitative and qualitative
applied social science approaches. Relevant skills include statistical analysis and open-ended data mining (social network analysis will be particularly helpful); applied machine learning including Natural Language Processing; quantitative content analysis;
qualitative discourse analysis; survey research; and archival research. Evidence of effective teamwork and communication skills is desirable. Experience investigating disinformation and organized obstructionism, climate change politics or communication, conflicts
of interest, or social media narratives is ideal but not essential.</span></p>
