The United Arab Emirates University (UAEU) is inviting applications for a postdoctoral fellowship focused on climate action as part of its second cycle of the UAEU Postdoc Fellowship on Climate Action. This opportunity is ideal for candidates with a background in computational biology or related fields who are interested in contributing to climate-related research and solutions. The fellowship covers a broad range of research areas, including climate finance and carbon markets, renewable and clean energy systems, carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS), climate-resilient agriculture and food security, water sustainability and circular resource management, climate modeling and adaptation strategies, green infrastructure and sustainable urban systems, climate policy and governance, climate change and public health resilience, and the application of artificial intelligence and digital technologies for climate action.

The position is supervised by Associate Professor Mohammad Tauqeer Alam, an expert in systems biology and omics at United Arab Emirates University. The fellowship is designed to support innovative research that addresses urgent climate challenges, leveraging computational and interdisciplinary approaches. Applicants are expected to have a PhD in computational biology or a closely related discipline, with demonstrated research experience in one or more of the listed areas. Strong skills in research proposal development and a commitment to advancing climate action are highly valued.

While specific funding details are not provided, postdoctoral fellowships at UAEU typically offer a stipend and research support. The initial proposal submission deadline is November 20, 2025. Interested candidates should prepare a research proposal aligned with the fellowship's research themes and submit their application materials to [email protected]. For more information, candidates may contact Professor Alam or refer to the provided LinkedIn links.

This fellowship offers a unique opportunity to work at the intersection of computational biology, environmental science, and digital technologies, contributing to impactful climate action research at a leading institution in the United Arab Emirates.
