Job/Professional Opportunities
- GLASSNET Travel Funding Opportunity
This funding opportunity is supported by the National Science Foundation through the AccelNet GLASSNET project (https://glassnet.net). It provides structured, hands-on training designed to advance transdisciplinary research at the intersection of climate science and economic modeling. The award strengthens collaborative research capacity focused on human heat stress and related climate risks. Awardees will be enrolled in the GTAP Short Course for the economic component of this mentorship. The online portion of this course runs from June 1 - July 26, 2026, and is followed by an intensive, onsite phase August 3-7, 2026 at Purdue University in the United States. During the break between the GTAP Short Course online and in-person phases (July 27-31, 2026), awardees will be onsite at Purdue University and learn about the impacts of human heat stress on labor capacity under the mentorship of Professor Matt Huber's Climate Science Lab. During this exchange, participants will work directly with climate scientists developing methodological approaches to assess human heat stress and climate risk. Having completed the time working with the Climate Science Lab, awardees will then replicate and extend an existing study of the economic impacts of heat stress in West Africa during the onsite phase of the GTAP Short Course. This experience will deepen participants' understanding of climate data, exposure metrics, and impact pathways that inform applied economic modeling. The Purdue research exchange with the Climate Science Lab is intentionally positioned between the online and onsite phases of the GTAP Short Course, allowing participants to integrate climate science insights into their applied modeling work before attending the onsite training phase. This opportunity is intended for scientists who are currently using, or seeking to incorporate, the GTAP framework and who wish to strengthen the empirical foundations of climate impact assessment through close collaboDeadline: 3/15/2026
