The world’s top programme for people committed to a deeper comprehension of crucial scientific and social concerns in climate change as well as in global sustainable development is the Climate School Postdoctoral Research programme. Postdoctoral researchers from the Climate School will work in diverse teams with brilliant, dedicated scientists to enhance knowledge of these issues and create workable solutions.
The Climate School’s research centres and programmes, the Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory, the Columbia University Medical Centre, and other affiliated schools and departments are all used to match successful postdoctoral candidates with Principal Investigators and mentors.
Benefits
- Postdocs at the Climate School will make $71,640 a year. In addition, they get a $12,000 research stipend over the course of the appointment’s two years to cover reimbursable costs. These grants can be used for moving and relocation expenditures, as well as for conference, journal, book, software, equipment, travel, and other research-related expenses.
- Only non-US citizens are eligible to receive temporary J1 visas from Columbia University.
- Officers of Research, as CCS Postdocs are known, are entitled to the same benefits offered to full-time workers by Columbia University.
- A series of seminars where each postdoc shares their current study. The lectures also feature guest speakers. Additionally, postdocs may oversee group projects that are created, discussed, and carried out during these sessions. The gatherings are informal and created to encourage discussions among CCS Postdocs, academics, and researchers about various multidisciplinary topics and ways to solve problems. They provide lunch.
Eligibility
- Prior to the start of the appointment, candidates must have earned their doctoral degrees (Ph.D., M.D., or J.D.) within the previous five years. Before the appointment can begin, all doctoral criteria must be met and the degree issued.
- According to university policies, those who are currently employed in positions with a rank higher than post-doctoral scientist are ineligible for appointment. To find out if they qualify, post-doctoral researchers should get in touch with the university’s administration.
- Both Americans and non-Americans may participate in the programme.
- The University of Columbia is an equal opportunity/affirmative action employer. Women and underrepresented groups are urged to apply.
Selection Method
The Climate School Postdoctoral Selection Committee, which is made up of senior Climate School academics from throughout the Institute, evaluates applications. Every effort is made to ensure that the Committee includes representatives from each of the core disciplines of the Climate School.
Following a thorough initial evaluation of the applications, the following aspects are looked at:
- The research proposal’s strength
- Relevance to the goal and research issues of the Climate School
- Potential for collaboration across disciplines
- Relevance of practise, policy, and community involvement
- Prior academic training
- Academic and professional recommendations with merit
- The directors of one or more pertinent Climate School research units receive applications that require further review. Before making a judgement, the Selection Committee carefully reevaluates each application based on input from the research divisions.
Application
Candidates must provide the following documents in order to apply to the programme:
- Applying online Curriculum Vitae
- Research proposal including a brief personal history
- 3 letters of recommendation
- In addition to submitting their application and proposal, applicants are encouraged—but not required—to get in touch with the multidisciplinary mentoring team they want, which should consist of two or more senior faculty members or research scientists/scholars at Columbia University. Please take note that support from a professor or researcher does not assure enrollment in the programme.
