Job City & State Raleigh, NCPosition InformationPosition OverviewEssential Job DutiesThe Southeast Climate Adaptation Science Center (SE CASC) in partnership with Consortium host NC State University is seeking a Postdoctoral Scholar in Climate Justice to further climate adaptation science and practice in the Southeast and US Caribbean region. The mission of the SE CASC is to help fish, wildlife, ecosystems, and Tribal Nations adapt to a changing climate. The SE CASC focuses on the co-production of actionable science for natural and cultural resource management. The exposures and impacts of climate change are not distributed equally.

The Postdoctoral Scholar will have an opportunity to collaborate with regional and national climate justice leaders and a cohort of SE CASC graduate student fellows and develop activities and initiatives.
