Transforming Climate Vulnerability with Socio-Metabolic Modeling
We are seeking a Postdoctoral Fellow to contribute to the RECOVER project, which aims to develop a dynamic socio-metabolic model to comprehend and analyze risks and tipping points related to resource-use patterns and consumption behaviors on small islands.
The successful candidate will lead the development of a generic, non-linear socio-metabolic model that can be adapted to specific cases in the RECOVER project. This model will serve as an interactive web-based tool to support decision-making and policy development for climate resilience.

- Develop a dynamic socio-metabolic model using System Dynamics Modeling and related state-of-the-art tools and software.
- Analyze socio-metabolic risks and tipping points related to resource-use patterns and consumption behaviors on small islands.
- Contribute as a key project collaborator with the project team at the University of Waterloo and in the activity countries (Asia-Pacific small island states).
- Lead or co-author research publications and present co-authored research at national or international conferences.
About You:
- Hold a doctoral degree in engineering, environmental studies/science, geography, or related disciplines with expertise in resource and/or risk modeling of socio-ecological systems.
- Be proficient in System Dynamics Modeling and related state-of-the-art tools and software.
- Demonstrate a strong interest in addressing/analyzing social-environmental real-world problems from a systems perspective.
What We Offer:
- A 2-year full-time postdoctoral position with a gross salary range of CAD $45,000 – 50,000 per year, inclusive of all benefits.
- A work location at the University of Waterloo, with a work-from-home option of 1-2 days a week.
- Opportunities to collaborate with a multidisciplinary team and contribute to high-impact research projects.
About the RECOVER Project:
The RECOVER project is funded jointly by IDRC-Canada and FCDO-U.Small Island Developing States (SIDS) are on the frontlines of climate change and consistently rank high on a range of risk and climate vulnerability indices. The project aims to mitigate 'socio-metabolic risk', or systemic risk related to critical resource availability, material circulation integrity, and (in)equities in cost and benefit distributions.
