Seeking Senior Coastal Scientist - UCSC
Sandra Fogg
The Institute of Marine Sciences (IMS) and the Center for Coastal Climate Resilience (CCCR) at the University of California, Santa Cruz (UCSC) invites applications for the position Senior Coastal Scientist.
The CCCR recently signed a four-year cooperative agreement with the US Army Corps of Engineers' Engineering With Nature Program (USACE EWN) on "Advancing Coastal Adaptation with Equitable Nature-Based Solutions". Working under the direction of Drs. Michael Beck and Borja Reguero, the senior coastal scientist will serve as the co-lead of this large-scale cooperative agreement and will play a primary role in the overall project management and implementation. In coordination with project Principal Investigators (PIs), the incumbent will oversee the research team and lead or co-lead several of the core activities including the development of hydrodynamic modeling of the effects of marshes on surge and wave attenuation; the hydrodynamics of reef restoration; and cost-benefit analyses of nature-based adaptation and equity aspects. The candidate will also have the opportunity to participate in other Center efforts, which include projects supported by NSF, FEMA, World Bank, TNC, and the insurance sector among others.
