The Institute of Arctic Biology at the University of Alaska Fairbanks
seeks applicants for a postdoctoral fellowship. The fellow will
participate in an NSF-funded project exploring the effects of recent and
projected changes in climate on ecosystem services and society in
Interior and Northern Alaska.
The successful candidate will work with other project team members to
develop rule-based and quantitative models that project climate-driven
changes in:
1) Key environmental characteristics, such as sea ice density or
wildfire extent;
2) Ecosystem responses to these environmental changes;
3) Ecosystem services such as provisioning of subsistence resources
(e.g., moose and other wildlife), regulatory services (e.g., wildfire
risk), and cultural benefits; and
4) Responses of rural indigenous communities to changes in these services.
The successful candidate must have strong analytical and quantitative
skills that can contribute to development of a modeling framework, an
interest in interdisciplinary research, and ability to work
independently while functioning as part of a research team.
