The NCCR CLIM+ is a new National Center of Competence in Research that establishes the first fully interdisciplinary, Switzerland-wide climate research community. NCCR CLIM+ aims to tackle pressing issues related to climate extremes such as heatwaves, floods, heavy rainfalls, droughts, wildfires, and further compound events. The research programme will interact with stakeholders ranging from public health to finance, agriculture, and water management to produce actionable solutions related to climate change adaptation and mitigation. Further information about NCCR CLIM+ can be found on: https://www.nccr-climplus.ch
To facilitate cross-disciplinary communication and stakeholder engagement, NCCR CLIM+ will develop storylines of plausible futures encompassing the physical and social dimensions of extreme climate outcomes. The storylines offer narratives that allow our interdisciplinary research team to carefully assess co-benefits and trade-offs in the transformation towards a climate-resilient society.
The Postdoctoral Fellow “Hydrological Extremes and Transboundary Cooperation” will be affiliated with Prof. Olivia Romppainen-Martius at Uni Bern. The work will be conducted in close collaboration with the research groups of Prof. Manuela Brunner (WSL-SLF/ETH Zurich), Prof. Valérie Chavez-Demoulin (UNIL) and Prof. Frédéric Varone (UniGE). While the contract is issued by the University of Bern the workplace is flexible between Bern, Geneva, Zurich and/or Lausanne.
