Postdoctoral Researcher - Modeling and synthesis of the Mississippi River Basin socio-environmental system

The Department of Geography and Environmental Sustainability (DGES) and the South Central Climate Adaptation Science Center (CASC) at the University of Oklahoma (OU) are hiring a postdoctoral researcher as part of the National and Regional Climate Adaptation Science Center’s Climate Adaptation Postdoctoral (CAP) Fellows Program. The CAP postdoctoral researcher will be supervised by Dr. Koch and jointly mentored by Drs. Koch and McPherson. The postdoctoral researcher will participate in a project on conceptual modeling and geospatial data synthesis of the Mississippi River Basin’s socio-environmental system. In addition, the CAP postdoctoral researcher will participate in regular training and professional development opportunities, including training on the co-production of actionable science with natural resource decision-makers.

This postdoctoral position is supported through the CAP Fellows Program established by the National and Regional Climate Adaptation Science Centers (NRCASC). The CAP program was established to support management-relevant research and scientific synthesis of emerging research needs related to climate impacts on fish, wildlife, and ecosystems. The objective of the CAP Program is to provide regional-to-national syntheses of climate change impacts on a given theme (Future of Aquatic Flows), focusing on the management challenges experienced by resource stewards to provide scientific research to help managers adapt to a changing climate.
