Offer Description

Activities and context:This FAPESP post-doctoral fellowship call is part of the REACH Nexus project, which applies a participatory modelling approach to investigate the complex interactions between extremes of climate variability, physical and mental health, climate justice, and urban planning in vulnerable communities in Brazil and the Netherlands. The objective of this fellowship is to contribute to the implementation of “living labs” experiments aimed at addressing climate extremes and their effects in urban peripheries. It involves participatory research processes and the co-creation of adaptive measures.

Mandatory requirements:Graduate degree or research experience in interdisciplinary socio-environmental studies and/or environmental health and/or urban planning. It is desirable for the candidate to have experience with mixed-methods (qualitative-quantitative) research, community-based and/or participatory approaches in vulnerable areas. Fluency in English and Portuguese is required, and the candidate must have earned a Ph.D. within the last 7 years. Availability for an internship of up to one year abroad, preferably in the Netherlands, is desirable.

The position is open to Brazilian and international applicants. The selected candidate will receive a FAPESP fellowship in the amount of R$ 12,570.00 per month and a Technical Reserve equivalent to 10% of the annual fellowship amount for unforeseen expenses directly related to research activities.
