[ES_JOBS_NET] Researcher in Carbon Cycle Data Assimilation at Lund University, Sweden

[Marko Scholze]

Vacancy: Researcher in Carbon Cycle Data Assimilation at Lund 
University, Sweden

The Department of Physical Geography and Ecosystem Science is seeking to 
appoint a Researcher with a strong background in carbon cycle modelling, 
data assimilation, remote sensing, applied mathematics or physics to 
work on assimilating remote sensing data into a terrestrial carbon cycle 
model.

The position is part of a newly funded project by the Swedish National 
Space Board. The project will use passive microwave measurements of 
vegetation properties from the SMOS mission with a terrestrial biosphere 
model in a Carbon Cycle Data Assimilation System. The data will be used 
to constrain model parameters in the formulation of the processes 
regulating the terrestrial carbon cycle. The results will help to 
improve estimates of terrestrial carbon and water fluxes.

The researcher will be part of an international team operating and 
further developing a world-leading system capable of quantifying 
terrestrial and oceanic sources and sinks of carbon dioxide through the 
assimilation of various data sources (atmospheric CO2 concentrations, 
satellite-derived vegetation cover, etc.).

The post will be available for 24 months, with a preferred starting date 
of December 2015/ January 2016.

Closing date for applications: 18 October 2015
