Dear Colleagues, EPA's National Center for Environmental Assessment (NCEA) has a post-doctoral research training opportunity available focusing on GIS and spatial analysis of global change: http://orise.orau.gov/epa/applicants/description.aspx?JobId=18374.
The focus of this opportunity is to apply advanced GIS and other spatial analysis tools to assessments of global change (i.e., climate, land use, biogeochemical changes) impacts, vulnerabilities, and adaptation responses. Assessment endpoints include urban systems, ecosystems, air and water quality, and human health. The participant will become familiar with the latest approaches, frameworks and models for understanding and addressing changes in climate, land use, and other global change factors. He/She will learn how to critically evaluate climate and land use model output and to identify both opportunities and limitations when using those data in applied research, and will learn how both detailed modeling and high-level assessment activities are used to accomplish NCEA’s mission. This research training opportunity will provide an exceptional professional development opportunity in a highly collaborative, multidisciplinary environment. The participant will have access to a team of experts collaborating in and across disciplines (geography, ecology, hydrology, health, urban systems) on emerging and high-profile research topics. For more information contact Britta Bierwagen ([email protected]).
