Postdoc Researcher: Biodiversity and Nature-Based Climate Solutions

The Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology and the Center for Policy Research on Energy and the Environment at Princeton University invite applications for a postdoctoral or more senior researcher to conduct research related to nature-based climate solutions and biodiversity conservation, with a particular focus on understanding the impacts of different types of solutions on biodiversity versus carbon sequestration. The work will involve an innovative synthesis and meta-analysis of the literature on this topic. The postdoctoral researcher will work with Professors David Wilcove and Jonathan Levine in collaboration with scientists at the Centre for Nature-based Climate Solutions at the National University of Singapore. The successful candidate will be appointed through either the School of Public and International Affairs (SPIA) or the Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology.

Required skills include extensive experience synthesizing and analyzing large datasets and experience with statistical modeling and GIS/spatial analysis. A strong publication record demonstrating the relevant skills is highly desirable.
