Stanford, United States Stanford University Full time
Wildfire Insurance Policy

The Climate and Energy Policy Program (CEPP) of Stanford's Woods Institute for the Environment invite applications for a post-doctoral position focused on policy and interventions that improve home insurance availability in the context of growing losses due to wildfire.

This postdoc will join the thriving community of the Woods Institute in the Stanford Doerr School of Sustainability.

The Fellow will report to the leaders of CEPP and will receive mentorship from an interdisciplinary team of faculty and researchers connecting scientific research with real-world decision making.

This full-time fellowship is crafted for early-career technical scholars with a strong interest in wildfire science and policy design and implementation.

It offers a hands-on opportunity to apply your scientific skills and expertise to address urgent and intensifying wildfire policy challenges in California and the western US.

This work will build on and deepen partnerships with policy stakeholders and Stanford's long track record of engagement on wildfire policy in both Sacramento and Washington, D.C.

The Fellow will develop research and analysis that will inform interventions that support improved availability of homeowner insurance in California.

Specifically, they will provide analysis and develop research aimed at improving understanding of historical and current dynamics in the homeowners insurance market in California as well as participate in the development of data-informed policy solutions.

The postdoc will collaborate closely with an insurance focused legal fellow.

We seek a postdoctoral scholar with strong data analysis and management skills and a strong background in statistical analysis (especially time-series analysis), causal inference, advanced econometrics, and/or machine learning.

Ideally, this candidate will be comfortable with geographic information systems (GIS).

The Fellow will also play a role in collaboration with other CEPP wildfire postdocs, fellows and the CEPP Directors in organizing and implementing a multidisciplinary Wildfire Policy Practicum in one quarter of Stanford's academic year that creates opportunities for Stanford graduate students to conduct rigorous and timely analysis in support of the objectives outlined above.

The Fellow will also engage with external policy partners and practicum "clients" to ensure that products are maximally relevant to active policy processes, engaging directly in such processes when appropriate.
