Post Doctoral Research Associate/Anthropogenic Climate...Posted: November 5, 2009
The Program in Science, Technology, and Environmental Policy at the Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs at Princeton University invites applications for post-doctoral research associates for research on anthropogenic climate change under the direction of Professor Michael Oppenheimer. General areas of interest include impacts and vulnerability of human and natural systems, and domestic and international policy frameworks aimed at fostering greenhouse gas emission mitigation and adaptation. Recent research in this program has focused on: the vulnerability of coral reefs, the nitrogen cycle and its response to climate variability and change, paleoclimatic studies of the behavior of earths ice sheets and sea level and implications for the future, the impacts of sea level rise on the coastal zone, the human responses to climate impacts including migration, the application of climate modeling to the foregoing problems, energy policy including the appropriate role for bio-fuels, the role of uncertainty and learning in decision making on problems of global change, and various aspects of emissions trading. This research is motivated by an interest in climate policy on all time scales and particularly, the means to implement Article 2 of the UNFCCC ("avoiding dangerous anthropogenic interference with the climate system").
