World Wildlife Fund (WWF), one of the world’s leading conservation organizations, seeks a Natural Capital Postdoctoral Fellow to deliver practice- and policy-relevant information on nature’s contributions to people at relevant scales. The Fellow would work closely with the Global Science team and with national offices throughout the WWF network to evaluate the economic benefits of ecosystem services associated with WWF’s conservation strategies and management. This role will be expected to employ a variety of economic assessment approaches and modeling techniques, utilizing remote-sensing imagery and socioeconomic data to capture the delivery of benefits from nature-based solutions. The Natural Capital Postdoctoral Fellow will also play a key role in the Natural Capital Project partnership – an effort to map, measure, and value nature's contributions to people using a diverse portfolio of modeling tools (including InVEST, the Integrated Valuation of Ecosystem Services and Trade-offs, the flagship tool of the Natural Capital Project, https://www.worldwildlife.org/projects/the-natural-capital-project). This 2-year, limited term position would be co-advised by the Global Biodiversity Lead Scientist Becky Chaplin-Kramer at WWF and Professor of Ecological/Environmental Economics Steve Polasky.
