IMPORTANT INFORMATION - PLEASE READ:
For consideration, please apply ONLY directly at this link .
Applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis starting on November 1, 2025 and will continue until the positions are filled.
Interested applicants should submit the following materials at their earliest convenience:
The research fellows will contribute to a new research project that is creating a Pan-Amazon Evidence and Action Hub for socio-economic and ecological flourishing in Amazonia. The hub will systematically synthesize and harmonize remote sensing, survey, census, and citizen science data to support analyses of issues for action in partnership with local communities and Indigenous Peoples in the Amazon region. Fellows will integrate and harmonize fragmented data from diverse sources into a coherent, usable form to support novel analyses that advance key sustainability goals. The work of the Hub will generate findings to support the design and adoption of interventions that respond to changing needs of the region and its people around climate change, energy, mining, soil and water contamination, food production and livelihoods.
The postdoctoral cohort will function as a central research skills hub, supporting and elevating the sustainability-related research efforts of faculty and students across Notre Dame. The fellows will help advance impactful, solution-oriented sustainability research that engages ecological, social, economic, and ethical dimensions in an integrated manner.
The postdoctoral fellows will assume the following key responsibilities:
Collaborate with faculty to design, implement, and support sustainability-related research projects requiring advanced data analytics.
Develop and maintain a centralized platform for the Pan-Amazon Evidence and Action Hub that hosts diverse and harmonized sustainability-related datasets, including environmental, socioeconomic, cultural, and geospatial data.
Harmonize, curate, and provide customized datasets across multiple spatial and temporal resolutions tailored to specific research questions and stakeholder needs.
Apply advanced statistical, machine learning, and AI techniques to analyze complex datasets and uncover actionable insights.
Co-author and support high-impact, interdisciplinary research publications in leading sustainability and environmental science journals.
Engage in collaborative grant writing and proposal development to sustain and expand the cohort’s research initiatives.
This search is conducted with leadership from Notre Dame’s Just Transformations to Sustainability Initiative and Data, AI, and Computing Initiative , both significant investments from the Provost’s Office. The Just Transformations to Sustainability Initiative is Notre Dame’s University-wide effort to build a sustainable future where people and nature flourish together. The Data, AI, and Computing Initiative’s core aim is to advance purposeful data, AI, and computing — excelling in foundational research while catalyzing interdisciplinary collaboration and real-world translation to address pressing societal challenges.
This is a full-time position available with an initial appointment of one-year, renewable for an additional year on the basis of satisfactory performance and availability of funding.
