The postdoctoral associate hired in this call will research Resilience, Adaptation and Systemic Risk. This project has a strong initial focus on urban sustainability, and on designing cities to be resilient to trends in population growth, migration patterns, land use and climate change, including the impacts of sea- level rise; but more generally, we are interested in the exploration of the factors that lead to resilience in any coupled social-ecological systems. This postdoctoral associate also will be associated with the Andlinger Center for Energy and the Environment.
