Abstract.
Environmental disasters are increasing in frequency and severity and require improved mitigation planning. Communication approaches used by first responders and governments towards affected communities impact citizen response by increasing or decreasing citizen trust and well-being. Moreover, co[…]

I am looking to hire two postdocs in Complexity Economics and/or Computational Social Science at The Alan Turing Institute. They will work on a large and exciting project on shocks and resilience, and will be closely collaborating with experts from other fields such as epidemiology, biology, data science, and spatial modelling.

Postdoc position focusing on interdisciplinary approach to urban resilience and/or compounding disasters.

The Columbia University Earth Institute Center for Climate Systems Research (CCSR) is seeking a Postdoctoral Research Scientist to work in the area of global crop modeling and climate change at its Morningside campus in New York City. The Postdoctoral Research Scientist will be part of an international team working to improve the responses of global crop models to atmospheric geoengineering scenarios and other perturbations including nuclear conflict or volcanic eruptions.

The Crop Science Group within the Institute of Crop Science and Research Conservation (INRES) at the University of Bonn is offering a Post-Doc position (E13 TV-L / 100%) for a period of up to 3 years. The Crop Science group at University of Bonn has a strong focus on developing dynamic, process based models for crop and agroecosystem management. The models are used among others to predict impacts of climate or management changes on crop production as well as eco-system services provision.
