Postdoctoral Research Fellows - Global Alliance for Laudato si'
The University of Notre Dame invites applications for Postdoctoral Research Fellows to advance the research agenda of the Global Alliance for Laudato si'. The fellows will pursue an independent line of scholarship in integral ecology while supporting the collaborative research of the Alliance's five thematic working groups.
The working groups that carry the Alliance's research program are: Place-Based Collective Action for Integral Ecology; Translating Knowledge to Action at the Food-Water-Energy Nexus; Transforming Economic Systems Towards Sustainability and Justice; Reimagining Education for Integral Ecology; and Theological Roots of Integral Ecology.
The fellows will distribute work across the five working groups according to background and expertise, helping members move from shared interest to publishable, actionable scholarship. Because the working groups span environmental science, political science, theology, economics, and education, this position suits interdisciplinary scholars who are able to collaborate across fields and geographies.
Postdoctoral Research Fellow - Integrated Assessment of Data Centers
The University of Notre Dame invites applications for a Postdoctoral Research Fellow to join a dynamic, interdisciplinary team undertaking a spatially explicit, contextually informed, and justice-centered assessment of the strategies and resources – including power, water, land, health, and workforce infrastructure – needed to inform current decision-making about data centers in Indiana and the Midwest in the near term and design the data centers of the future. This will start with the development of a framework for capturing the multidimensional and complex potential impacts (both positive and negative) that are unique to each community in the region. This assessment will also assess the local, state, and national level policies and strategies that can drive the sustainability of the changing landscape of data center growth in the region by integrating their social, technical, economic, and environmental implications for communities in the region and for the region itself.
