Overview
To conduct research on multi-sector dynamics in support of climate risk management. The position is for one year with potential extension beyond that, subject to funding available.
Two full-time postdoc positions are available at the Thayer School of Engineering at Dartmouth College to join the Keller research group. The successful candidates will become part of a transdisciplinary research group in the area of climate risk management. The research group addresses two interrelated questions. First, how can we mechanistically understand past and potentially predict future changes in the Earth system? Second, how can we use this information to design sustainable, scientifically sound, technologically feasible, economically efficient, and ethically defensible risk management strategies? We analyze these questions through mission-oriented basic research covering a wide range of disciplines such as engineering, decision science, statistics, Earth sciences, economics, and philosophy. Current collaborative projects analyze, for example, the dynamics and impacts of deep decarbonization, the design of coastal flood risk management strategies, and multisector dynamics.
