Job type: Postdoc

Apply for the University of Waterloo’s Provost’s Program for Interdisciplinary Postdoctoral Scholars and work on the “Retreating From Risk (RFR): Decision-supports for the equitable implementation of retreat to build climate resilience” (NFRF-I-funded) project.

Are you a recent PhD graduate with an innovative and community-minded spirit, and a passion for tackling hazards and climate change-related challenges?      

If you’ve graduated between August 1, 2020 and now, or are on track to complete your PhD by September 1, 2025, we invite you to apply for two years of funding support under the University of Waterloo's prestigious Provost’s Program for Interdisciplinary Postdoctoral Scholars (PPIPS).

Successful candidates will join the “Retreating from Risk (RFR): Decision-supports for the equitable implementation of retreat to build climate resilience” project.      

Opportunities Available:

• Project Management Support - Help oversee project timelines, events (e.g., workshops, webinars), financial reporting, and other administrative tasks.

• Communications and Toolkit Development - Craft impactful messaging and resources for community leaders, practitioners, and stakeholders.

• Research - Conduct leading-edge managed retreat research that advances project objectives, including cross-case analyses.

• Community Outreach and Engagement - Build relationships with First Nations, municipal governments, not-for-profitorganizations, and stakeholders to support communities in adapting to climate change.

• Knowledge Mobilization - Work collaboratively to ensure that project findings are communicated to diverse audiences in culturally-appropriate and inclusive ways (e.g.academic publications, presentations, multi-media outputs, and policy briefs).

• Student Support - Support Master’s and PhD students working on the RFR project to advance their own research (i.e., through student committee membership, informal mentoring, research methods guidance, etc.).

Compensation: As outlined in the Provost's Program guidelines, the salary for this position is set at $70,000 per year for two years plus a $5,000 research fund.      Additionally, there may be opportunities for salary augmentation through the RFR project, subject to discussions once the results from the PPIPS competition are released. 

Important Note: To be considered for this exciting opportunity, you must first apply for and be successful in the PPIPS competition, after which discussions regarding specific project roles and potential salary top-ups will take place.
