Position Highlights | The Office for Research, Innovation, and Impact (RII) and the Arizona Institute for Resilience (AIR) at the University of Arizona invite applications for the Paul and Alice Baker Endowed Postdoctoral Research Associate in Climate Change and Human Resiliency. The Baker Prize will elevate scholarship of urgent global challenges in climate science and human resiliency, while enhancing the capacity of future leaders and scholars dedicated to tackling climate and environmental problems through science at the University of Arizona. This postdoctoral fellowship provides an opportunity for a recent Ph.D. recipient to pursue an ambitious research program connected to the U of Arizona’s strengths in climate science, adaptation, and resilience solutions. The goal of the program is to provide research opportunities and career development for an excellent postdoctoral scholar and to encourage this outstanding candidate to pursue a faculty or research career at the University of Arizona.

The recipient will be initially appointed to a one-year postdoctoral position contingent upon funding and performance, starting in August 2024, with the opportunity of being requested by the host department to move forward with the process to be vetted for a faculty position once the postdoctoral appointment has been completed, pending adequate annual progress and commitment to a faculty position by an appropriate academic unit.
