The School for Environment and Sustainability is seeking a postdoctoral fellow in Sustainable Urban Systems. You will work with Professor Ben Goldstein, who will support your research in a number of areas related to urban sustainability. Potential topics could include:

Urban Energy Use: You will work with various large datasets to advance previous research by myself and colleagues on urban energy use and decarbonization. Your work could explore inequities in energy use and related carbon emissions across urban areas; interlinkages between urban form, land use, and carbon emissions; and the broader sustainability of urban decarbonization given prevailing challenges with critical mineral supply chains.
Urban Food Systems: You could help develop analytical architectures to capture interconnections between the urban and rural via food supply chains (urban foodsheds), including improved methods to quantify environmental and social change along those supply chains. Localization of agriculture through urban-regional food systems, including urban agriculture, to enhance urban sustainability and resilience could also be a research topic.
Corporate Supply Chain Analysis: Continue developing scalable methods to map the supply chains that underpin modern cities and to quantify environmental change along those supply chains. You will help advance a multi-scalar understanding of urban sustainability as a way to improve environmental justice both within cities and in urban hinterlands. Topical foci could include agri-commodities (e.g, palm or rubber), meat, crops, or critical minerals.

While these are the primary focus areas for research in the field, there is flexibility to work on adjacent or completely different topics that motivate you. In addition to conducting research, you will also help develop competitive applications to external funding agencies.
