Based on a set of measurable biological characteristics or “biological essential ocean variables" derived from the requirements of 24 multilateral environmental agreements, existing monitoring capabilities and scientific and societal impact, scientists at NCEAS will design a monitoring network to answer specific scientific questions on high priority global phenomena in response to calls for guidance from policy makers and managers. By mapping the current spatial extent of observations for these essential variables, from microbes to whales and coastal ecosystems to the deep sea, the scientists will identify how to capitalize on what is already being achieved and what remains to be done to develop a globally coordinated, fit for purpose, and sustained ocean observing system. Scientists will also develop a roadmap to ensure that products maximally support monitoring progress against the Convention on Biological Diversity 2050 Vision, Agenda 2030 and other critical international agreements including scientific platforms related to climate change, biodiversity, and ecosystem services as well as the UN Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development. The roadmap will include where current indicators can be updated to make better use of scientific information and impact the future development of scientific priorities.Principal investigators: Nic Bax (University of Tasmania), Daniel Dunn (Duke University), Patricia Miloslavich (Simon Bolivar University) Project 2: Managing Ocean Change and Food Security: Implementing Palau’s National Marine Sanctuary One of the most acute challenges for ocean nations and coastal communities is food andnutritional security, including sustaining wild capture fisheries in a time of rapid and profoundchange in the oceans and in the global food sector. Palau’s commitment to protect ocean ecosystems and resources for its people, demonstrated in a policy to close 80% of its EEZ in 2020, provides an unprecedented opportunity to take a systems approach to tackling this complex and urgent challenge. The Government of Palau has asked us to convene a working group to synthesize existing research and create a portfolio of policy and management options supporting food security and marine resource sustainability in the context of the new closure. The proposed working group will be guided by a policy committee of ministers and other senior government policymakers from Palau and other Pacific Island nations to ensure that its work meets the needs and priorities of government decision-making, and develops avenues for impact at scale, within the broader western Pacific region.Principal investigator: Fiorenza Micheli (Stanford University) The department is especially interested in candidates who can contribute to the diversity and excellence of the academic community through research, teaching and service.

Kendall Fellowship: Carbon Dioxide Removal InnovationsClimate & Energy ProgramUnion of Concerned ScientistsWashington, DC, or Cambridge, MA   The Union of Concerned Scientists (UCS), the leading science-based organization at the center of today’s most exciting and important policy debates, seeks outstanding candidates for its Kendall Science Fellows program. This two-year fellowship is open to candidates who will have completed their Ph.D. in the physical sciences, engineering, economics, or other relevant technical or multidisciplinary subject before Fall 2019. The fellow will investigate the potential for carbon dioxide removal (CDR) from the atmosphere, along with the research agenda, policies, and funding needed to effectively, economically, and safely deploy negative emissions technologies (NETs) to help meet the carbon emissions goals (net-zero by mid-century) arising from the Paris Agreement. The Union of Concerned Scientists is an independent national nonprofit whose scientists and engineers work to solve some of our planet’s most pressing environmental and security problems. UCS combines technical analysis and effective organizing and advocacy to create innovative, practical solutions for stemming the tide of global warming, advancing clean energy and transportation policy, promoting sustainable food and agricultural policy, countering misinformation, and reducing the threat of catastrophic nuclear war.   Responsibilities The Kendall Fellow will work with UCS staff to develop a proposal for a two-year post-doctoral research project focused on accelerating the potential for CDR to help the US meet net-zero carbon emissions goals, and understanding the risks and barriers involved. The primary goal of the project is to inform and shape the development of a US research agenda for innovation and deployment of NETs as part of a comprehensive strategy to reduce carbon emissions to net-zero by mid-century. We anticipate this work will build on the 2018 National Academies of Science report on CDR, the 2018 IPCC Special Report on reaching 1.5C, and other related research. As a Fellow, you could evaluate CDR options with regards to their readiness, risks and trade-offs, current and potential costs of deployment compared to other alternatives, and permanence. You may also conduct research on the potential for encouraging innovation in CDR options against current and future likely obstacles or inertia risks. As a Fellow, you’ll have opportunities to engage with science and policy leaders, and influential NGOs and academic centers. The detailed outcomes of the fellowship will be defined during the development of the proposal but could include: a research paper published in a peer-reviewed journal; a UCS report on technology and policy issues; the development of materials for the public and opinion leaders; briefings for scientists, policy-makers, and NGOs, and UCS blogs.   Qualifications and experience A completed Ph.D. in the physical sciences, engineering, economics, or other relevant scientific field (or a completion date of Fall 2019) is required. You should have knowledge and experience with global carbon models, climate change mitigation pathways, economic modeling, and demonstrated understanding of the technical, environmental, societal, and/or economic feasibility and constraints of negative emissions technologies. Understanding of technology innovation & deployment is highly desirable. Skills and experience communicating complex technical and policy questions in written products and verbal presentations are also important.  May spend extended periods at computer.  Travel expected on roughly a quarterly basis, occasionally including overnight stays.
