global UC Wild Solar Team of the Wild Energy Center (www.WildEnergy.org) at
the University of California Davis invite applications for an
interdisciplinary postdoctoral scholar position to conduct ecosystem
service assessments of different types of PV projects, including their
benefits and costs(relative to conventional PV project types), to support
California state- and local PV approval processes, industry needs, and
decision-making. In addition to a supportive academic mentoring team, each
UC Wild Solar Postdoctoral Scholar will be matched with at least one
non-university end-user âÂ?Â~Champion MentorâÂ?ÂT.
The postdoctoral scholar will build on lessonâÂ?ÂTs learned from

methods to calculate, map, and scale ecological, ecological, and
agricultural benefits (and costs) across the state of California (following
methods from previous Project Team studies).

Methods may include:
� ecosystem service assessment;
� techno-economic assessment;
� energy science;
� knowledge co-production (
https://www.nature.com/articles/s41893-021-00755-x); and/or,
� energy modeling.

The postdoctoral scholar will be responsible for identifying relevant
environmental, financial, logistical, zoning/permitting, and legal barriers
to their implementation, and identify enablers and/or cost reduction
opportunities. Lastly, the postdoctoral scholar will be responsible for
using results from the assessments to lead the development of peer-reviewed
journal articles as well as industry spreadsheet tools and guidance to
allow developers/operators to evaluate costs and benefits of implementing
specific biodiversity-friendly mitigation strategies, as well as
identifying approaches to reduce biodiversity-friendly mitigation costs.
