"Postdoctoral Fellow in Geography, Mortality Impacts of Heat Waves"

Description

The Climate Modeling and Impacts Group and the Keller Research Group at Dartmouth College invite applications for a postdoctoral researcher with expertise in quantitative methods and research interests related to climate science. The successful candidate will be co-advised by Professors Justin Mankin (Geography) and Klaus Keller (Engineering) and become part of two collaborating transdisciplinary research groups.

The postdoctoral fellow will co-lead research to improve the characterization and understanding of heat driven mortality risks and the design of strategies to manage these risks. Qualified candidates will have a strong quantitative background in relevant disciplines (e.g., applied math, operations research, statistics, engineering, epidemiology, or Earth sciences). We especially value applicants who are highly motivated to collaborate across more than one discipline. The fellow will enjoy ample opportunities to co-design their project portfolios and for transdisciplinary research collaborations. The position provides unique opportunities for research, education, outreach, decision support, and professional development.

This position is full-time, non-remote, in-residence at Dartmouth in Hanover, NH, with start date as early as January 1, 2026. The initial appointment will be for a period of one year, with possibility of renewal for at least one additional year. The salary will be competitive, commensurate with experience.
