The Midwest Climate Adaptation Science Center (MW CASC) is collaborating with the National Park Service (NPS) to hire an ORISE fellow to work on research that will guide the consideration and inclusion of climate adaptation in infrastructure (e.g. culverts and bridges) management for the Midwest region of the National Park system. This includes completing robust engagement of resource managers for local knowledge and context, conducting climate change vulnerability and hazards assessments, assessing planning processes, and the identifying opportunities for climate adaptation in the National Park System.
The selected participant will have the opportunity to learn how to fill critical information gaps in climate effects on infrastructure, build expertise in decision science, hone skills in science communication, better understand the needs of the natural resource management community, engage with federal partners, and gain valuable experience being a part of a partnership-driven program within a federal science agency.
The anticipated project duration is a minimum of three years. Appointment location is negotiable within the Midwest. The deadline to apply is November 22, 2024.
