Job Description

The newly established Wildfire Technology Hub @ University of Nevada, Reno invites applicants for multiple postdoctoral fellows to conduct research in technological and scientific aspects of Wildfire Engineering across the different Pre-Fire, Active-Fire, and Post-Fire domains. Our goal is to develop new capabilities for stakeholders to effectively prepare for, respond to, and recover from wildfires. We seek dynamic individuals with a knowledge of fire science who are willing to work within a multidisciplinary team in a fast-paced research and development environment, learn new skills, interact with stakeholders, and produce high-quality research and technology products. The positions are part of a cluster hire in support of the Hub. The candidates will interact with other research teams at the Hub as well as faculties at UNR and other partnering institutes and agencies. The Hub is committed to postdoctoral mentorship and supports independent career development for successful candidates.
