The Liber Ero Postdoctoral Fellowship Program supports early-career scientists working on conservation and management issues relevant to Canada. The program is designed for research that is both applied and forward-looking, encouraging fellows to address time-sensitive management challenges and difficult “wicked” conservation problems through novel analyses, perspectives, and collaborations. Fellows can pursue natural, social, or interdisciplinary research related to conservation science. The pr...

Concordia University in Canada is seeking two highly motivated PhD students to advance research on Scan-to-BIM-to-Digital Twin and uncertainty-aware methods for climate-resilient infrastructure systems. Under the supervision of Dr. Chih-Shen (Stephen) Cheng , students will work at the intersection of sensing, artificial intelligence, flood modeling, and uncertainty quantification. The research will support the assessment of flood impacts on buildings and power infrastructure and help facilitate ...

This postdoctoral appointment is hosted by the Indian Ocean World Centre in the Department of History & Classical Studies at McGill University . The project examines the history of the Indian Ocean World, a vast macro-region stretching from East Asia to Eastern Africa, from around 1800 to the present, with a focus on how major environmental events shaped societies and politics. The research agenda centres on one of two themes: the impact of sulphur-rich volcanic eruptions or cyclones . The succe...
