POSTDOCTORAL OPPORTUNITY IN GEOSPATIAL MODELING OF WETLAND CARBON SEQUESTRATION
(review begins Oct 31, open until filled)


The Smithsonian Environmental Research Center (SERC) has an opening for a p=
ostdoctoral fellow to study geospatial analysis of carbon sequestration in =
coastal wetlands across the United States. The fellow will join a team of o=
ver 20 scientists seeking to link field measurements with remotely sensed d=
atasets. The fellow will be an active participant in project planning, data=
 analysis, and scientific publications and must be able to work as part of =
an extended research team. Applicants should have a Ph.D. in ecology or geo=
graphy, peer-reviewed publications, and professional presentations. Desirab=
le skill sets include proficiency with ArcGIS software, geospatial modeling=
, and database management. Ideally, the candidate also will have some under=
standing of process-based biogeochemical modeling and knowledge of wetland =
ecological principles. Skills with ArcGIS automation and R statistical soft=
ware would also be helpful. The position is funded for 2 years beginning in=
 January 2015 as part of a multi-institution, multi-investigator project su=
