Post-doctoral research associate: urban contributions to global climate
Hi all,
I am pleased to share that my group, the Data-Driven EnviroLab (DDL), housed within the University of North Carolina’s Institute for the Environment, is currently recruiting a Postdoctoral Research Associate to join our interdisciplinary research team. This position offers a unique opportunity to contribute to a major initiative focused on evaluating the role of cities in global climate mitigation efforts.
The successful candidate will play a key role in developing urban-scale geospatial models and analytical workflows that integrate satellite remote sensing, Integrated Assessment Models (IAMs), and large-scale geospatial datasets. The overarching goal of this project is to assess and model the climate mitigation potential of cities around the world and their alignment with global climate targets.
I am seeking a candidate with strong quantitative and technical skills, ideally with the following qualifications:
- Proficiency in geospatial data analysis using Python or R; experience with Google Earth Engine is highly preferred
- Experience with machine learning and spatial statistics, particularly as applied to environmental or urban datasets
- Background in urban emissions modeling, greenhouse gas accounting, or evaluation of climate and sustainability policies
- Demonstrated ability to work with large-scale datasets in cloud-based or high-performance computing environments
In this role, the postdoctoral researcher will collaborate with a diverse team of scientists, modelers, and policy experts, contributing to peer-reviewed publications, public-facing tools, and policy-relevant research outputs. The position also offers opportunities for leadership in interdisciplinary research at the intersection of urbanization, climate change, and data science.

I would be grateful if you could circulate this opportunity within your networks or recommend individuals who may be a strong fit. Please don’t hesitate to reach out to me directly with any questions or suggestions.
Best wishes,
Angel
