The Stanford Woods Institute for the Environment is pleased to announce a post-doctoral position on nature-based climate solutions. The successful candidate will have the opportunity to engage with several projects, including work assessing the global and regional potential for nature-based emissions reductions and carbon removal, developing robust standards for nature-based approaches in carbon markets, understanding and protecting background carbon sinks, integrating carbon sequestration with other forest benefits, and managing wildfire risk. Depending on background and interests, the successful candidate will utilize ecological, remote sensing, big data, economic, or policy tools. All of the projects are designed around two big ideas. The first is that nature-based climate solutions can be meaningful contributors to limiting climate change, but only if they are well-designed, carefully monitored, and embedded in a broad framework for managing risks. The second is that nature-based climate solutions can play an important role in ecosystem protection and enhancement, independent of their consequences for carbon balance, and that effective natural climate solutions will integrate across carbon and other benefits, including benefits for rural and indigenous communities.
The Stanford Woods Institute for the Environment is a research unit within the Stanford Doerr School of Sustainability. The Woods Institute encourages interdisciplinary and solutions-oriented approaches to important environmental problems. More than 150 Stanford faculty members, representing all seven of Stanford’s schools, are affiliates. The institute pursues its objectives through seed funding, hosting interdisciplinary centers, organizing convenings, and leadership training.
