Shahnawaz Rafi, Ph.D.

I earned my Ph.D. in Economics from Florida International University (FIU) in July 2022. Currently, I am working as a Post-Doctoral Research Associate under Professor Pallab Mozumder at the FIU Institute of Environment.

With a Ph.D. in Environmental Economics, my research focuses on the human dimensions of natural resource management and optimal policy responses to environmental risks. Additionally, I analyze housing and insurance market behaviors in response to natural disasters. I create an inclusive, collaborative classroom environment promoting critical thinking and intellectual curiosity. With excellent communication skills and a collaborative mindset, I am committed to any institution's research and teaching mission. 

I am currently active in the job market and available for a Teaching/Tenure-track/Visiting Assistant Professor position at a liberal arts college or research university.
