The UW Climate Impacts Group is hiring a new, full-time Research Scientist with a focus on natural resources. The Research Scientist will support climate impacts and adaptation research projects led by the Climate Impacts Group’s senior scientists. Focus areas may include natural hazards and ecological disturbances, landscape conservation, species and ecosystems, water resources, and sea level rise and coastal impacts.

We envision this position will: 1) work with the Climate Impacts Group’s senior scientists to conduct applied research on climate impacts and adaptation in natural resources; 2) engage with partners and decision makers on projects in all stages of the adaptation process from vulnerability assessment to planning and implementation; and 3) provide analytical, logistical, and project management support for research and applications.

We are seeking a candidate with a natural resources background and project management experience who is passionate about our organizational mission and our co-production model. While educational attainment is valued, we also encourage applications from practitioners who have worked in government, non-profits or other organizations who can bring practical experience with climate adaptation in the natural resource sector.
