The University of Washington, in partnership with the Northwest Climate Adaptation Science Center (NW CASC), is searching for a talented scientist with an interest in coastal squeeze — when human and natural barriers challenge the inland range shifts of coastal species and ecosystems in response to sea-level rise.
The postdoctoral fellow will join a national cohort as part of the Climate Adaptation Postdoctoral (CAP) Fellowship Program, hosted by the U.S. Geological Survey Climate Adaptation Science Centers. The Fellow will conduct research related to coastal squeeze in the Northwest and will also join eight other postdocs from around the country to conduct a national synthesis project related to species range shifts.
The successful candidate for this position will have strong spatial and quantitative modeling skills and a broad understanding of coastal ecology and/or coastal geomorphology and climate change. This full-time, two-year position will be based at the University of Washington School of Environmental and Forest Sciences and will work closely with partners at the Northwest Climate Adaptation Science Center and Oregon State University as well as coastal managers from Washington and Oregon.
Apply today to join our dedicated team working to apply science in service of climate-resilient natural and cultural resources in the Northwest! Applications received by February 1, 2025 will be prioritized.
