Postdoc In Environmental Finance/Economics
Louisiana State University is hiring a postdoctoral researcher to study the economics and financing of coastal green and gray infrastructure.
The postdoctoral researcher will engage in cutting-edge research focused on the application of benefit/cost analyses to coastal green and gray infrastructure, with an emphasis on financial risk modeling and the valuation of ecosystem co-benefits. The expectations for this position are 50% effort on a NOAA funded Effects of Sea-Level Rise project on quantifying the benefits and costs of coastal green and gray infrastructure for the purposes of sea-level rise adaptation in the Pacific Northwest. This project would involve collaborations with multiple institutions throughout the Pacific Northwest, including Oregon State University, Pacific Northwest National Laboratories, and the Partnership for Coastal Watersheds.
The remainder of the effort (50%) of the postdoc is expected to investigate how wetland and floodplain restoration can be funded through reductions in flood risk and other ecosystem co-benefits using continental scale flood models developed by the University of Bristol and Fathom.
