OPENING:
*Postdoctoral Scholar, Catastrophe Risk Modeler*
The Department of Ocean Sciences at the University of California at Santa
Cruz, in collaboration with the Institute of Marine Sciences , The Nature
Conservancy and the Wildlife Conservation Society, invites applications for
a position to examine the effects of coastal habitats on flood risk
reduction. The project is supported by the Lloyd?s Tercentenary Research
Foundation. The overall aims of this collaborative project are (i) to
examine the factors that influence the role of wetlands and reefs in damage
reduction from flooding, (ii) to identify how these factors can be used to
improve industry-based risk models and (iii) to create financial
instruments that help reduce risks to people and nature. The successful
applicant will enhance models and develop analyses to examine the effects
of coastal habitats on flood and erosion reduction. S/He will work in the
interface between engineering, economic and ecological sciences to assess
coastal risks and the role of habitats in reducing them.
*RANK: *Postdoctoral Scholar - Employee
*SALARY: *Minimum starting salary of $50,000/year; commensurate with
