The Julie Ann Wrigley Global Institute of Sustainability at Arizona State University is seeking a postdoctoral fellow to take a leadership role in the modeling interacting networks of water, power and roads to evaluate the resilience of coupled infrastructure systems. The position is part of an innovative NSF-funded project on Resilience Simulation for Water, Power & Road Networks.
The candidate will be encouraged to develop his/her own research program within the broad aims of the project, and will be given the opportunity to gain experience in project management, teaching and student mentoring. The position is for two years (beginning August 2015).

Essential Duties
The fellows primary duties entail: 1) the development of analytical and computational models of coupled infrastructure systems; 2) working with other team members to integrate information from empirical cases from physical infrastructure networks and governance protocols into the modeling project; and 3) implementing a stylized model of coupled infrastructure systems to analyze resilience for various types of scenarios.

Minimum Qualifications
At the time of appointment, the successful candidate must have earned doctorate in an interdisciplinary human-environment program, or in a field in the natural sciences, engineering or social sciences that focuses on systems analysis at the time of appointment. He/she must demonstrate extensive experience in analytical and computational modeling, network analysis and/or systems analysis. He/she must demonstrate a strong record of scholarly achievement; strong communication skills; and an ability to work effectively in interdisciplinary research teams.

Desired Qualifications
The candidate should ideally be familiar with resilience theory and complex adaptive systems.
