1.Coastal Engineer/Scientist

The Coastal Engineer Research Scientist is responsible for performing a variety of professional-level model development and consulting tasks, including development and/or validation of hazard, fragility/vulnerability, and/or financial model components, and technical documentation. Incumbent works on complex parts of the models performs comprehensive tests using advanced experimental design, analyzes results using statistical data analysis, and effectively resolves complex technical problems. Acts independently as the technical lead and/or project lead responsible for a range of model development projects. Assigned to several projects concurrently, and on each project assignment may report for technical direction to a different supervisor or manage the project directly. This role is highly collaborative, working with technical teams to build models. Has strong technical skills to create models, has experience with CoreLogic processes (or related processes) to develop specific catastrophe models, and has expertise in the physical phenomena.

2.Postdoctoral Research Associate in Climate Variability and Change

The Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences Program at Princeton University, seeks a postdoctoral researcher or more senior position for research related to multi-decadal to centennial climate variability and change, including the connections to tropical cyclone activity. A key focus will be dynamical model experiments to understand the character of and causes behind changes over the past millennium, and an assessment of the causes behind past centennial changes in climate and tropical cyclone activity. This would include analysis of and modifications to coupled climate model experiments. The research will also examine the relationships and interactions between of natural multi-decadal to centennial variability, and the climate system response to radiative forcing changes. The research will make extensive use of both observations and a variety of modeling tools, including high-resolution global climate models. The selected candidate will have one or more of the following attributes: (a) a strong background in climate dynamics, atmospheric sciences, physical oceanography, or a closely related field; (b) experience using and analyzing advanced climate models and global observational datasets, and (c) strong diagnostic skills in analyzing large data sets.

3.Postdoctoral Fellow

The Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at Colorado State University (CSU) is seeking a Postdoctoral Fellow to integrate and synthesize research on urban water sustainability with the Urban Water Innovation Network (UWIN). Specifically, the project seeks to evaluate indicators of sustainability across the various aspects of urban planning, and develop a blueprint (expert system) for cities seeking to integrate a One Water approach into planning.

The selected individual will work with Dr. Arabi at CSU to identify indicators of water sustainability jointly with researchers across UWIN and develop an expert system for evaluating indicators of sustainability for cities across the six UWIN regions (Arizona Sun Corridor, Southeast Florida, Mid-Atlantic, Pacific Northwest, Front Range Colorado, and Southern California).
