Postdoctoral Research Assoc - Emergency Management and Disaster Science

As a part of a project funded by the Joint Fire Science Program, the principal investigator seeks a full-time, motivated post-doctoral researcher to coordinate qualitative and geospatial data collection and analysis activities for a research project on wildfire recovery. The successful applicant will join an interdisciplinary research team from the University of North Texas, USDA Forest Service, and the University of California Berkeley. We offer a flexible start date as soon as January 2023. Funding includes full-time salary and benefits for a period of 16 months.Using a coupled social-ecological approach, this research seeks to understand how post-wildfire recovery and mitigation alters future wildfire vulnerability. The successful candidate will take a leadership role on stakeholder interviews and inventory of post-fire programs and outcomes in two counties in northern California (Lake & Sonoma Counties). Qualitative data analysis and collation of geospatial data will inform wildfire risk modeling and community stakeholder engagement.
