A background in climate change is highly preferred. Candidates with an interest in the interplay between the form and function of the built and natural environments as well as a specialization in a particular domain such as land, air, water, or coastal regions are welcome. Candidates may employ a variety of methods in their work, including those drawn from urban planning, spatial and infrastructure analysis, ecology and natural science, design, law, public policy, sociology, political science, and economics, among others. Successful candidates must demonstrate a high level of achievement and/or promise in their research and teaching, consistent with their career stage.
