Research activity

The researcher will explore the spatial and temporal variations of societal vulnerabilities to climate extremes at the global scale. For this scope, the researcher will develop novel methodologies by integrating climate datasets, Earth observations and geospatial socioeconomic statistics within an artificial intelligence framework. The combination of these elements will provide an enhanced understanding of the vulnerability dynamics and underlying mechanisms in response to global changes. Outcomes of the research activity will contribute to the identification of hotspot areas highly vulnerable to climate extremes and to the definition of effective adaptation strategies, ultimately contributing to foster the transition to a climate-resilient development. The work will be conducted within the Horizon SPARCCLE project in a young and multi-disciplinary team with a wide network of international collaborations.

Seeking postdoctoral and post-master’s applicants for 2 Great Lakes Fellowships:

J. Philip Keillor Wisconsin Coastal Management-Sea Grant Fellow
J. Philip Keillor Wisconsin Great Lakes Coastal Leadership Academy Fellow


Application Deadlines: February 2, 2024



The Wisconsin Sea Grant College Program and the Wisconsin Coastal Management Program seek postdoctoral and post-master’s candidates interested in tackling science and policy challenges related to increasing coastal community resilience across the Great Lakes region. Together, these programs will fund two state fellowship positions, named in honor of a longtime Sea Grant coastal engineering expert Phil Keillor, to celebrate his legacy in building resilience in Wisconsin communities. The Fellow will work closely with Wisconsin Coastal Management Program’s Coastal Hazards Work Group, Sea Grant’s coastal engineer, local government representatives, and researchers from a variety of fields to tackle the important challenge of connecting science related to coastal processes – including flooding, erosion, and storms – with communities that could benefit from the information.



These Fellowship positions provide a unique educational and career opportunity for a recent graduate interested both in coastal resources and the policy decisions affecting those resources in Wisconsin. The program places a recent master’s or doctoral graduate within a state agency full-time for one year, with the Fellow bringing technical skills to address water issues while receiving valuable real-world science-policy experience from the resource professionals who serve as mentors. These mutual partnerships result in advancing science to support policy decisions as well as valuable training opportunities for new professionals entering the workforce. The fellowship provides strong mentoring and relationship-building with an emphasis on the Fellow's professional development and success.
