We are seeking a postdoc for research in modelling coupled social-climate systems, under the co-supervision of Prof. Madhur Anand (Global Ecological Change & Sustainability Laboratory, School of Environmental Sciences, University of
Guelph: https://www.uoguelph.ca/~manand/Madhur_Anand/Welcome.html) and Prof. Chris Bauch (Department of Applied Mathematics, University of
Waterloo: https://www.math.uwaterloo.ca/~cbauch/index.php). The applicant will model complex interactions between climate dynamics and social processes, with application to climate policy (e.g. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pcbi.1007000).
