Postdoctoral Opportunity: Global Energy Systems, Decision-making, and Climate Department: DGE - Global Ecology <https://jobs.carnegiescience.edu/jobs/dge/> Salary: Salary is competitive, determined based on experience. Location: Stanford, CA Postdoctoral Opportunities: Global Energy Systems, Decision-making, and Climate *Carnegie Institution for Science Department of Global Ecology on the Stanford campus.* We are seeking an outstanding postdoctoral researchers who can lead scientific or technical research projects that can contribute substantively to facilitating a transition to a global near-zero emission energy economy. We also seek to improve understanding of other strategies that could potentially be applied to reduce climate damage (e.g., adaptation, solar geoengineering). We are also very interested in social science research aimed at helping groups make better decisions. Successful candidates might use integrated assessment or climate models, but could choose to use other tools. We have done a number of studies related to analyzing the global energy system in the context of greenhouse gas emissions (e.g., estimating the scale of deployment of near-zero emission technologies needed to stabilize climate while allowing for economic growth, evaluating role of infrastructural inertia, analyzing carbon dioxide emissions embodied in international trade), as well as a variety of climate and carbon-cycle studies. Successful candidates will play a major role in planning and executing these investigations, working in a diverse group that will include climate modelers, energy-system analysts, and field researchers. We are looking to develop an exciting collegial atmosphere with a lot of personal freedom, wherein each group member both leads research projects and collaborates on projects led by others. Positions are available now, and we are flexible with regard to start dates. The initial term will be for one year with the potential for renewal for up to a maximum of four years. The positions will involve working with Ken Caldeira at the Carnegie Institution for Science Department of Global Ecology on the Stanford University campus. Carnegie Institution post-docs have access to most Stanford facilities. Key factors in our hiring decisions will be intelligence, thoughtfulness, creativity, motivation, productivity, and a record of successful scientific or technical publication. We are flexible with regard to your domain of expertise. Informal inquiries about these positions can be made by emailing Ken Caldeira at <[email protected] <https://mail.google.com/mail/?view=cm&fs=1&tf=1&[email protected]>>, however applications for employment can be considered only through the web pages reached by clicking on the blue bar below.
