Deadline: 22 March 2015
The Network for Sustainable Climate Risk Management (SCRiM) is calling postdocs and advanced graduate students for the Third Annual Summer School at Penn State University. The program will be held from 3-7 August 2015.
SCRiM call for Third Annual Summer School to foster opportunities for collaboration and to provide a solid foundation in the broad, multidisciplinary knowledge, tools, and methods of the diverse fields participating in the network.
A key focus of the workshop will be developing a common vocabulary to help foster enhanced cross-disciplinary communication, enabling the possibility for future collaborative research.
Participants will also gain hands-on experience with key methods and tools including:
- Robust decision making
- Use of simple models
- Analysis of relevant datasets
The Network for Sustainable Climate Risk Management (SCRiM) links an international, trans-disciplinary team of climate scientists, economists, philosophers, statisticians, engineers, and policy analysts to answer the question – “What are sustainable, scientifically sound, technologically feasible, economically efficient, and ethically defensible climate risk management strategies?”
Eligibility Criteria
- This program is targeted at advanced graduate students and postdocs.
- In special circumstances, applications from other early-career professionals who have recently completed their master’s or doctoral degrees and are working in SCRiM-relevant fields might be considered.
