*Two Postdoctoral Positions*
Integrated Assessment of Climate Change
Earth and Environmental Systems Institute
The Pennsylvania State University, University Park Campus
Two postdoctoral positions in integrated assessment of climate change are
available in the Earth and Environmental Systems Institute at The
Pennsylvania State University. The successful candidates will join a
transdisciplinary research team that analyzes climate driven
vulnerabilities, risks, and potential adaptation strategies in areas such
as water supply, flood control, forestry, and agriculture. The ideal
candidates will have a strong quantitative background (e.g., Earth
sciences, applied mathematics, statistics, operations research, or
physics). Prior exposure to areas such as integrated assessment modeling,
risk analysis, or decision analysis would be an advantage, but is not
required. Successful candidates must be interested in and able to
collaborate on transdisciplinary research involving decision analysists,
Earth scientists, economists, engineers, statisticians, and philosophers.
Postdoctoral scholars will have considerable freedom to collaboratively
design the research in the areas outlined above with a mentor network
spanning the relevant academic disciplines. Information about ongoing
projects as well as relevant publications can be found at
http://www3.geosc.psu.edu/~kzk10/. The positions are part of a larger-scale
hiring initiative (see http://scrimhub.org/opportunities/employment/). Both
positions are available immediately and will remain open until filled. The
initial appointment will be for a period of one year, with excellent
possibility of renewal for one or more additional years. Please upload
cover letter, CV, statement of research interests, copies of two relevant
manuscripts, and contact information for three professional references. For
questions about the potential projects, please contact Dr. Klaus Keller
klaus@psu.edu.

*Postdoctoral Position*
Decision Support for Sustainable Climate Risk Management
Earth and Environmental Systems Institute
The Pennsylvania State University, University Park Campus
A postdoctoral position in decision support for sustainable climate risk
management is available in the Earth and Environmental Systems Institute at
the Pennsylvania State University. The successful candidate will join a
transdisciplinary research team to support the social science analysis of
two central areas of concern: (i) the role of values in climate change
science and risk management and (ii) how attention to stakeholder values
can serve to improve decision making under conditions of risk and
uncertainty. The aim of the position is to better understand and improve
decision support and risk communication that takes account of the values
and goals of stakeholders and helps to ensure that decision makers are best
equipped to identify and assess trade-offs between values, objectives and
strategies. The project has been developing an approach to mental model
analysis that includes the mapping of values, both those of stakeholders
and experts. The postdoctoral scholar will have opportunities to work in a
variety of settings, including coastal management in New Orleans and
forestry management with the Menominee Nation in the context of changing
climates. The scholar will assist in evaluating climate risk management
communication and decision tools in experimental as well as real-life
settings. The ideal candidate would have experience evaluating decision
support tools, a strong background in a social science field including risk
management, experience with mental model or related approaches to decision
making, an appreciation of the role values play in decision making, and
experience with decision support tools. An understanding of climate change
mitigation, adaptation, and geoengineering strategies is desirable. The
successful candidate must be interested in and able to collaborate on
transdisciplinary research involving Earth scientists, statisticians,
decision analysts, economists, and philosophers. Postdoctoral scholars are
expected to collaborate on established projects and will have considerable
freedom to collaboratively design the research in the areas outlined above.
Information about ongoing projects as well as publications can be found at:
http://scrimhub.org/research/publications/. This position is part of a
larger-scale hiring initiative (see
http://scrimhub.org/opportunities/employment/). The position is available
immediately and will remain open until filled. The initial appointment will
be for a period of one year, with excellent possibility of renewal for one
or more additional years. Please upload a letter of interest, CV, reprints
or submitted versions of two relevant manuscripts, and contact information
for three professional references. For questions about the potential
projects, please contact Dr. Nancy Tuana (ntuana@psu.edu).

We would like to advertise a Winter School entitled "Diversity of planetary circulation regimes, in our solar system and beyond", taking place March 6-10, 2017 at the Les Houches Physics center (http://houches.ujf-grenoble.fr/ ) based in Les Houches, France.
We will present the recent observational data and modelling studies pertaining to the variety of planetary atmospheres circulation regimes, including giant and terrestrial planets. We will also discuss the theory of planetary physical processes (e.g. circulation, dynamics, thermodynamics, radiative transfer, cloud microphysics) and review the current status of the modelling of planetary atmospheres in order to calculate observables such as light curves. This interdisciplinary school wishes to contribute to bridging the gap between Earth science, planetary science, and astrophysics.
The Physics school of Les Houches is located in the French Alps (Savoy) and has been hosting worldwide renowned training and scientific events since 1951. Lodging and food are provided on site. Ample time will be reserved for individual and joint social activities. Arrival of participants is possible after 3 pm on Sunday March 5th.
All practical information concerning reaching the location of the school and the available facilities can be found at: https://houches.univ-grenoble-alpes.fr/en/
Topics that will be addressed are the following:
- What are the various circulation regimes of Earth, Solar system planets and exoplanets (theory/observation)?
- What have we learned from Earth climate dynamics that can be applied to exoplanets?
- Which properties are relevant for habitability?
- How can we use knowledge of planetary physics to better understand the Earth climate system and its response to forcings?
- How do the very diverse radiation regimes affect the circulation? What are the main feedbacks?
- How to deal with complex processes such as clouds, shocks, lightenings, hydrological cycle, weathering?
- How to construct flexible modeling tools?
Lectures will be delivered by about 20 speakers. The number of additional participants is limited to 50. The deadline to apply is January, 15th 2017, and early applicants will be given priority. The participants will be encouraged to bring over a poster for presenting their research activities. Full or partial financial support will be provided to selected participants. Details for registration are given in the school website: http://leshouchesplanets2017.zmaw.de/
For questions, please contact Nicolas Iro (nicolas.io@uni-hamburg.de<mailto:nicolas.io@uni-hamburg.de>).
