Job Duties
The Department of Coastal Studies in East Carolina University (ECU) is seeking a post-doctoral scholar with expertise in agent-based or similar rules-based modeling systems as part of an NSF-funded DISES project investigating ecosystem-based adaptation to extreme storm events in Fiji and Puerto Rico ).
The postdoc will be responsible for developing an agent-based model to describe expected behaviors and their outcomes in response to storm events in mangrove-reef social-ecological systems.
The successful candidate will demonstrate expertise with agent-based or similar rules-based models.The appointment will be for 1 year, renewable for a 2nd year contingent on performance and availability of project funds.
The main duties of the postdoc will be to: 1) develop an integrative, rules-based model for storm adaptation in dynamic coastal social-ecological systems; 2) liaise with an international project team for model development, calibration and validation, and interpretation; 3) work with, and where necessary, mentor PhD students and field team staff; 4) lead data processing, analysis, and writing of papers; 5) present results at conferences and webinars; and 6) help lead workshops and broader impact activities.The postdoc will be supervised by a multidisciplinary research team, with specific expertise in various components of coastal social-ecological systems, however the team does not include an expert in rules-based modelling.
