Postdoc Opportunities in Climate Science

Eawag’s Department of Fish Ecology and Evolution is seeking a postdoctoral researcher to investigate fish migration and life history variation in anadromous Arctic charr. The project examines how glacial inputs shape fjord environments and how these environmental differences influence the ecology, movement patterns, foraging, phenotypic divergence, and local distinctiveness of Arctic charr populations. The research will compare populations using glacial-fed and tundra streams, fjords influenced ...

The U.S. Army Engineer Research and Development Center’s Environmental Laboratory (EL) offers a research appointment within a broad environmental science and engineering environment. As one of seven laboratories in USACE-ERDC, EL focuses on solving environmental challenges for the U.S. Army, the Department of Defense, and the nation through applied research and development. Participants will work under the guidance of a mentor in a real-world laboratory setting and gain hands-on experience with ...

The Department of Earth System Science at the University of California, Irvine is anticipating openings for postdoctoral scholars in an interdisciplinary earth and climate research environment. The pool is centered on departmental research strengths in biogeochemistry , atmospheric chemistry , and physical climate , offering opportunities to contribute to work across the Earth system. This opening is designed for researchers who want to build postdoctoral projects within a department focused on ...

This Research Fellow position sits within the Monash Remote Food Systems program and is based in Darwin, Northern Territory, with close links to the Menzies School of Health Research nutrition program. The role focuses on research addressing food security in remote Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities, combining program evaluation, collaborative case study work, and community-led evidence generation. The successful researcher will lead the co-design and delivery of an evaluation of ...

This postdoctoral position is based in the Institute of Zoology, General Ecology research group at the University of Cologne and is part of the project “The Rhine Floodplain – a Biogeochemically Coupled System under Stress.” The project examines how altered hydrology shapes floodplain sediment dynamics, biodiversity, food webs, microbial activity, and greenhouse gas emissions. The successful researcher will develop a mechanistic framework connecting hydrological drivers with biotic, sedimentary,...

Harvard University invites applications for a full-time Postdoctoral Fellow in Terrestrial Ecosystem Dynamics in the laboratory of Professor Paul Moorcroft, located in Cambridge, Massachusetts, United States. The project uses process-based terrestrial biosphere modeling to investigate tropical forest ecosystems. The research will identify and characterize the drivers of differences in how tropical forests in the Amazon and Congo respond to climate variability and climate change. Applicants must ...

Senckenberg Gesellschaft für Naturforschung (SGN) in Frankfurt am Main is recruiting a PostDoc (m/f/d) in Data-Driven Social Ecological Research at the Senckenberg Biodiversity and Climate Research Centre (SBiK-F). The position starts as soon as possible and is offered as a temporary appointment for up to three years, with full-time employment and part-time options available. The successful candidate will work in an interdisciplinary environment focused on the complex interactions between biodiv...

The University of Bristol is recruiting two postdoctoral Research Associates/Senior Research Associates to join Dr Eunice Lo’s UKRI Future Leaders Fellowship team and the Climate and Health Research Group. The Futureproof project develops weather-health prediction science to strengthen the climate resilience of the NHS. The successful researchers will analyse weather forecasts, climate datasets, human health and healthcare data; run environmental-epidemiology models; and produce weather-health f...

The Global Ecology group at the Earth Systems Research Center, University of New Hampshire, invites applications for a full-time Postdoctoral Research Associate in Durham, United States. The NASA-funded project investigates how terrestrial ecosystem functioning, productivity, carbon uptake and stocks, and resilience respond to climate change, including drought, heatwaves, and other disturbances. It will examine how biodiversity and management mediate these responses across regional to global sca...
