Prospective postdoctoral fellows interested in decision-making in the context of complex natural hazards and environmental change are encouraged to apply for a position in the School for Environment and Sustainability at the University of Michigan. The postdoctoral fellow will collaborate with a transdisciplinary research team to:
- Investigate how public health and natural-hazard professionals make decisions to protect communities from co-occurring wildfires, wildfire-smoke events, and heat waves
- Develop frameworks to support these decisions.
Research activities will include focus groups and workshops with public health and natural-hazard professionals. These activities will integrate information about wildfire hazards and professionals? mental models of those hazards into decision-making frameworks.
The postdoctoral fellow will be responsible for producing a peer-reviewed publication, presenting a paper at a professional conference, and developing a practitioner-oriented resource. The position is funded by an award from NASA?s Earth Action Wildland Fires program.
