https://careers.umich.edu/job_detail/249130/postdoctoral-fellowship


This postdoctoral appointment will begin on  Sept. 1, 2024 (earlier if
possible). The position aims to support research on how climate change and
demographic change are reshaping prospects for sociopolitical stability,
conflict, and violence in Africa. Successful candidates will have strong
statistical and spatial analysis experience, and the ability to integrate
climate, statistical modeling, remote sensing, and social survey datasets.
The selected postdoctoral fellow will investigate:


1.    Mechanisms connecting climate change and variability to
sociopolitical stability

2.    Differences in the distribution of conflict and violence in Africa
and their association with other factors that climate change and
variability influence directly or indirectly

3.    Pathways that may mitigate risks of conflict and instability.

Fellows will have time available for their own research as well as time
devoted to working on research leading to publications with other members
of the project.


This position will be a 1-year (full-time) term limited appointment with
the possibility of renewal.


The postdoc will work with researchers in the Center for Political Studies
(CPS) and the School for Environment and Sustainability (SEAS) at the
