POSITION: POST-DOCTORAL SCIENTIST
Full Time
Exempt
One post-doctoral research position is available January 1, 1999 with the
Ecosystems Center of the Marine Biological Laboratory.
DUTIES: Simulation modeling of vegetation-atmosphere interactions and
biogeochemistry in tropical ecosystems. The post-doctoral researcher will
conduct studies on a NASA funded project, a component of the LBA experiment
(The Large Scale Biosphere-Atmosphere Experiment in Amazonia). LBA is
designed to create the new knowledge needed to understand the
climatological, ecological, biogeochemical and hydrological functioning of
Amazonia, the impact of land use change on these functions and the
interactions between Amazonia and the Earth system. The individual will
have responsibility for operating two extant models (one of
vegetation-atmosphere interactions on hourly to annual time-scales, the
other of ecosystem biogeochemistry, on annual to decadal time scales) to
generate regional extrapolations of the dynamics of C and nutrient storage
and exchange. This will involve interaction with LBA teams involved with
data collection at both intensive study sites and from remote sensing and
with LBA teams modeling other components of the Amazon basin system. It
will also involved collaboration with our Brazilian colleagues who have
expertise in remote sensing and GIS.
EDUCATION: A Ph.D. in environmental science or associate subject with
specialization either in biogeochemistry, remote sensing, models of
ecosystem dynamics, or micrometeorology. Strong quantitative abilities and
facility with computers. Expertise in GIS (ARC) and/or programming
(FORTRAN/Delphi) a plus.
APPLICATION DEADLINE: Until a suitable candidate is identified.
To apply, please send cover letter indicating position desired, resume and
