The primary research focus for this Postdoctoral Research Associate is bridging climate science and decision-making to advance heat resilience in rural, tribal, and border communities in the U.S. Southwest. Candidates with experience with U.S. local policy and decision-making and an interest in heat resilience from diverse disciplinary backgrounds are encouraged to apply. The successful candidate will work with interdisciplinary researchers, decision-makers, and community members across the U.S. Southwest on research that advances equitable decision-making to improve climate change resilience. This position is full time with renewal contingent on performance and funding.
The Climate Assessment for the Southwest (CLIMAS) program was established in 1998 as part of the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s Regional Integrated Sciences and Assessments program. CLIMAS is a collaboration between University of Arizona and New Mexico State University. The CLIMAS team has experts from a variety of social, physical, and natural sciences working with partners across the Southwest to develop sustainable answers to regional climate challenges.
