This fellowship connects research on climate, energy and environmental issues with policy and public impact. Fellows undertake a mentored research project and an impact-focused capstone while joining interdisciplinary training, retreats and peer-support activities. The programme develops skills in policy translation, public communication, community engagement and research leadership. It provides salary and benefits plus a $6,000 research-support stipend. Core programme activities last one year, with possible extension if funds permit. Applicants use the UC President’s Postdoctoral Fellowship application, select Berkeley and opt into Climate Futures under Special Opportunities. Recommendation and mentor letters are due 1 December 2026.
Lamont-Doherty offers 24-month research appointments spanning solid-Earth processes, ocean and atmospheric systems, climate, cryospheric dynamics, paleoclimate, biogeoscience and environmental contamination. Applicants propose an original Earth-science project and identify potential mentors; machine-learning backgrounds are welcome. A forest-ecology option includes work at Black Rock Forest. The annual salary is $72,116, with a one-time $12,000 research allowance and $1,500 relocation support. Expected starts fall in autumn 2027 or spring 2028. Recommendation letters are due 13 November 2026.

A normally two-year postdoctoral appointment beginning in autumn 2027 supports original environmental research with faculty mentorship at Caltech. Fields include climate dynamics and adaptation, atmospheric chemistry, physical oceanography, glaciology, paleoclimate, biogeochemistry and environmental microbiology. The annual stipend is $80,000, with a $10,000 research-expense fund and up to $1,500 for travel to Pasadena. Continuation depends on first-year progress and completion of the doctorate. Applicants may also be considered for other relevant Caltech postdoctoral positions.

Develop atmospheric inversions of methane and nitrous oxide to constrain greenhouse-gas sources and sinks at high latitudes. The project combines CarboScope transport and inversion modelling with Arctic and Canadian observations, isotopic measurements and satellite data to investigate carbon-climate feedbacks and permafrost regions. The appointment lasts twelve months, with a start between January and April 2027, TVöD Bund remuneration and the possibility of part-time work.

A currently quiescent stratovolcano, Mount Shasta, California, still poses a significant hazard to nearby communities thanks to impactful non-eruptive debris flows that can occur throughout the year. In this work, we have built a more complete record of debris flow occurrence using monitoring campaigns and research into historical newspaper records; analyze debris flow frequency and triggering in…

Lisa Dang explores how observations reveal the three-dimensional atmospheres and climates of close-in exoplanets. Kepler and TESS have established a diverse population that tests theories of planetary formation and evolution. Tidally locked short-period planets offer strong atmospheric signals but their large day–night contrasts make one-dimensional interpretations inadequate. Measurements from…

Masa Kageyama examines climate models as tools for both scientific investigation and societal decisions. Developed through extensive collaboration, these models connect understanding of large-scale climate behaviour to projections of impacts and risks. The seminar considers scientific and technical improvements needed to support effective adaptation.

This lecture examines how temperature change is measured across the last two centuries. It compares instruments on the ground, satellite observations and indirect evidence for earlier periods. The discussion addresses the construction of global averages from uneven observations, possible urban influences and changes in temperature extremes.

This lecture examines the composition of Earth's atmosphere and how it is reconstructed through time. It distinguishes abundant nitrogen and oxygen from trace gases whose concentrations respond strongly to human emissions. Measurements are used to compare natural changes with human influences relevant to climate.

Sophie Godin-Beekmann explains the chemical balance that maintains stratospheric ozone and how industrial chlorine- and bromine-containing compounds disrupted it. The seminar reviews the Montreal Protocol and measures aimed at restoring the ozone layer. It also considers the climate consequences of reducing ozone-depleting substances.
