About this position
Columbia University in the City of New York is recruiting a Postdoctoral Research Scientist in Coastal Geohazards and Adaptation at the Columbia Climate School, with an office at the Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory in New York, USA.
The position is in the research group of Prof. Austin Chadwick and will work in coordination with Prof. Michael Steckler. The project focuses on predicting cascading flood hazards linked to subsidence, sea-level rise, and storm surge across densely populated coastal plains, and on quantifying adaptation strategies under climate and land-use change.
Research activities include substantial modeling and data analysis, with opportunities for fieldwork and impact-focused collaboration with NGO and academic partners in coastal Bangladesh through ongoing projects with the Jameel Observatory and NSF.
Applicants should hold a PhD in geomorphology, hydrology, civil engineering, or a related field. Preferred experience includes coastal storm surge modeling (e.g., GeoClaw), coastal morphodynamics modeling (e.g., Delft3D), and/or analysis of subsidence observations (e.g., GNSS, RSETs, InSAR). Strong skills in Python, MATLAB, or similar languages are expected, along with familiarity with numerical modeling of hydrological and/or geophysical systems.
The appointment is initially for one year, with continuation dependent on research progress and funding availability. Columbia University benefits accompany the appointment, and the posted salary range is $72,116.
The search remains open for at least 30 days after posting and continues until the position is filled. Applications are accepted online only through the Interfolio portal.
