Postdoctoral Research Associate, Developing Forecasts of Environmental Risk to Carbon Stocks in Nature-based Systems, Forest Ecology Group (Coomes Lab), Cambridge Centre for Carbon Credits (4C), University of Cambridge, Cambridge UK.

The Position

You will help to develop a standardised approach to forecast the expected permanence in carbon stocks of nature-based projects, as influenced by human activities, climate change, and other disturbance events. You will stochastically extend an existing deterministic difference-in-difference analysis so that it can be used to estimate the expected permanence of nature-based carbon stores and credits derived from them.

The modelling will involve combining a variety of different risks, from climate change to the socio-economic drivers of deforestation, and how these are modified through project interventions. Your work will necessitate foundational work on risk-modelling and its application to our automated system for generating and valuing carbon credits.

Salary: £33,309 - £40,927
