Virginia Tech School of Public and International Affairs

The position focuses on the design and implementation of a large-scale experimental study examining how different forms of science communication and public engagement influence risk perception, future-oriented thinking, and agency in the context of climate change.

We are looking for candidates with strong experience in experimental or computational social science methods who are interested in applying these approaches to questions of climate change, decision-making, and long-term governance.

The postdoc will play a central role in developing and implementing the study and will have substantial intellectual ownership, including opportunities to lead publications.
