The NW CASC is now hiring a postdoctoral ORISE Fellow to support the development of a next-generation version of the Climate Change Vulnerability Index (CCVI), a tool used by state and other wildlife management partners to conduct climate change vulnerability assessments for species. The Fellow will provide technical assistance and research on climate data analysis, statistical model development and testing, and human-computer interaction applications in support of the CCVI. The ORISE Fellow will closely interact with ecologists involved in refining the biological components of CCVI and will engage with natural-resource managers at federal and state agencies.
Candidates should have received a doctoral degree within the past five years or be currently pursuing the degree with completion before December 31, 2023. Strong candidates will have experience analyzing climate models and communicating science to non-technical audiences. Preferred position location is in Corvallis, Oregon, with the possibility of remote work. Applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis.
