The Network for Sustainable Climate Risk Management (SCRiM
<http://scrimhub.org>) seeks outstanding candidates for a scientific
programmer working in the area of Software Development for Climate Risk
Management.
Centered at Penn State and linking 18 universities and five research
institutions in six nations, SCRiM addresses the question: What are
sustainable, scientifically sound, technologically feasible,
economically efficient, and ethically defensible climate-risk management
strategies? SCRiM catalyzes fundamental, mission-oriented, and
transdisciplinary research to characterize climate risks and trade-offs
associated with risk management instruments such as mitigation,
adaptation, and geoengineering. The network provides unique
opportunities for transdisciplinary research collaboration, education,
outreach, decision support, mentoring, and professional development.
The selected candidate will work with SCRiM project teams to develop
modeling, analysis, visualization, decision support, and educational
tools. Desired areas of expertise include models of Earth system
components, geophysical data visualization, statistical analysis of
large datasets, optimization techniques, and development of web-based
graphical user interfaces. The primary common language used within SCRiM
is R but experience with additional languages such as Fortran, C/C++,
Julia, Matlab, NCL, and/or Python would also be highly desirable.
Initial projects may include (but are not limited to) development of a
graphical user interface for a simple integrated assessment model,
development of a data visualization portal for downscaled climate data,
and coupling of model components (originally developed for different
disciplinary domains) for multi-objective trade-off analyses in a
high-performance computational environment.
This position is available immediately and will remain open until
filled. Initial appointment will be for a period of one year, with
excellent possibility of renewal for one or more additional years. The
salary will be competitive, commensurate with experience, and will
comply with Penn State University guidelines. Successful completion of a
background check is required prior to employment.
This opportunity is available either as a Scientific Programmer /
Research Assistant position (B.S. required, master's degree or Ph.D.
preferred) or as a Postdoctoral Research Associate position (Ph.D.
required).

research associate working in the area of Algorithms for Optimal and
Robust Design under Uncertainty for Climate Applications.
Centered at Penn State and linking 18 universities and five research

Potential projects for the successful candidate include (i) development
of models to inform optimal and robust climate mitigation and adaptation
strategies under uncertainty with learning, and (ii) development of
models and methods for analyzing the transition of the energy system to
meet multiple goals including low carbon emissions, low water usage, and
low air pollution, with a particular focus on the electric power sector
and detailed engineering optimization models. The ideal candidate will
have a strong quantitative background with expertise in at least one of
the following: operations research, power system modeling, optimal
control, energy economics, and/or integrated assessment modeling of
climate change. The candidate will have considerable freedom to
collaboratively design the research within the scope of the broad
questions outlined above. While housed with the SCRiM research group,
candidates would also have the opportunity to interact with overlapping
research communities and projects including the Center for Sustainable
Electric Power Systems, Institute for Natural Gas Research, and several
other interdisciplinary efforts ongoing at Penn State.
This position is available immediately and will remain open until
filled. Initial appointment will be for a period of one year, with
excellent possibility of renewal for one or more additional years. The
salary will be competitive, commensurate with experience, and will

agriculture, forestry, transportation, and coastal infrastructure.
Scholars with interests and/or experience in climate modeling, dynamical
downscaling, uncertainty quantification, and data assimilation are also

The Network for Sustainable Climate Risk Management (SCRiM
<http://scrimhub.org>) seeks outstanding candidates for a postdoctoral
research associate working in the area of Earth System Analysis to
Inform Decision Making.
Centered at Penn State and linking 18 universities and five research
institutions in six nations, SCRiM addresses the question: What are
sustainable, scientifically sound, technologically feasible,
economically efficient, and ethically defensible climate-risk management
strategies? SCRiM catalyzes fundamental, mission-oriented, and
transdisciplinary research to characterize climate risks and trade-offs
associated with risk management instruments such as mitigation,
adaptation, and geoengineering. The network provides unique
opportunities for transdisciplinary research collaboration, education,
outreach, decision support, mentoring, and professional development.
The successful candidate will join an transdisciplinary research team
that analyzes two main questions: (i) How can paleoclimatic and
instrumental records improve our mechanistic understanding of the
climate system and inform climate predictions? (ii) How can this
scientific information be used to improve the design of climate-risk
management strategies? The ideal candidate will have a strong
quantitative background (e.g., applied mathematics, Bayesian statistics,
or physics) and some prior exposure to Earth system science. The
candidate will have considerable freedom to collaboratively design the
research within the scope of the broad questions outlined above.
Possible example projects include the analysis of current uncertainties
surrounding climate projections, strategies on how to reduce these
uncertainties, and how to design robust climate change mitigation and
adaptation strategies in the face of deep uncertainty and learning.
This position is available immediately and will remain open until
filled. Initial appointment will be for a period of one year, with
excellent possibility of renewal for one or more additional years. The
salary will be competitive, commensurate with experience, and will
comply with Penn State University guidelines. Successful completion of a
background check is required prior to employment.
