The Dehcho Collaborative on Permafrost (DCoP) is seeking a Post Doctoral Fellow to examine the impacts of wildfire on the hydrology of peatland complexes with discontinuous permafrost in the southern Taiga Plains ecoregion, Northwest Territories, Canada.
DCoP is a fusion of leading-edge scientific and Indigenous knowledge on permafrost focussed on developing new methods and predictive tools to help manage permafrost and adapt to permafrost thaw. See a short video on DCoP: https://youtu.be/Niy7R0sXeZg.
Field studies will be based at the newly renovated Scotty Creek Research Station (http://www.scottycreek.com/). The Łı́ı́dlı̨ı̨ Kų́ę́ First Nation recently took on the leadership of the station making Scotty Creek one of the first Indigenous-led research stations in the world and a "flagship" for scientific-Indigenous collaboration in the North: https://permafrost.woodwellclimate.org/indigenous-led-climate-research-station-rebuilds-after-october-wildfire/.
