Seeking Postdoc Focused on Climate and the Future of Aquatic Flows

Written by

Are you a researcher interested in the nexus of climate change and aquatic flows? The Northwest Climate Adaptation Science Center, in partnership with Boise State University, is searching for a postdoctoral scholar with a passion for developing science that meets real-world needs to lead regionally-focused research related to modeling aquatic flows under climate change.

The postdoctoral scholar will join a national cohort as part of the National and Regional Climate Adaptation Science Center’s Climate Adaptation Postdoctoral (CAP) Fellows Program. In addition to leading regional research, the Climate Adaptation postdoctoral scholar will collaborate with other Climate Adaptation scholars from across the country on national-scale research and synthesis on climate-aquatic flows issues and how this information can be integrated into aquatic ecosystem management. The postdoctoral scholar will participate in regular training and professional development opportunities, including training on interdisciplinary collaboration and developing actionable science with decision makers.

This is a two-year, full-time position. The postdoctoral scholar will be based at Boise State University and supervised and mentored by the NW Climate Adaption Science Center at the University of Washington (limited travel to the Adaptation Science Center at the University of Washington is required). Apply today to join our dedicated team working to apply science in service of climate-resilient natural and cultural resources in the Northwest!

The salary is $61,900 per year with second-year funding contingent on satisfactory completion of responsibilities and continuation of funding. The position includes competitive benefits and funding for supplies and travel.

Applications received by August 19, 2022 will be prioritized.
