      Targeted Postdoctoral Fellowship in Spatial Biology

Applications are currently being accepted for a postdoctoral position in 
spatial biology in the Spatial Analysis Lab 
<http://www.nimbios.org/sal/> (SAL) at NIMBioS in collaboration with the 
Department of Ecology & Evolutionary Biology <http://eeb.bio.utk.edu> 
(EEB) at the University of Tennessee at Knoxville. This is a full-time, 
two-year position, with the potential for a limited-time-period renewal.

The postdoctoral fellow will integrate remote sensing tools with 
publicly available data to answer interdisciplinary topics in Global 
Environmental Change (with possible foci in macroecology, physiology, 
and environmental sociology and economics). The fellow will be expected 
to participate in and contribute to NIMBioS activities. Technical remote 
sensing expertise is required, specifically experience in data-fusion 
techniques and in working with multiple types of remotely sensed data 
(multispectral + hyperspectral or multispectral + radar or multipectral 
+ lidar, etc.). The most competitive candidates would have had 
experience collating, processing, and analyzing large datasets (e.g., 
biodiversity, physiology, climate, agriculture/land-use, economic trade) 
at the regional and/or global scale(s) and have published some of this 
work in leading peer-reviewed journals. The postdoctoral fellow will be 
mentored by Xingli Giam <http://eeb.bio.utk.edu/people/xingli-giam/> 
(EEB), Monica Papeş <http://eeb.bio.utk.edu/people/monica-papes/> (EEB 
and SAL), and Kimberly Sheldon 
<http://eeb.bio.utk.edu/people/kimberly-sheldon/> (EEB).
