Postdoctoral Appointee - Ecology and Machine Learning
Argonne National Laboratory, Lemont, IL

Position Description:
The Environmental Science Division of Argonne National Laboratory seeks a postdoctoral researcher to contribute to a project investigating how soil moisture heterogeneity influences the exchange of energy, water and carbon between terrestrial ecosystems and the atmosphere.

In this role you will:

*          Contribute to the conceptual design of terrestrial and atmospheric measurements needed to test the effects of temporal and spatial heterogeneity of soil moisture in mid continental temperate landscapes.

*          Contribute to the installation and operation of field instruments.

*          Contribute to data model development and application of data analysis methods, including machine learning and information theory based approaches.

*          Team with soils scientists, microbial ecologists, atmospheric scientists and computational scientists, and supervise students.

*          Present results at scientific meetings, and prepare manuscripts for publication.


Position Requirements:
We expect you to have knowledge and/or skills in:

*          Knowledge of terrestrial ecology and ecosystem processes and a willingness to learn of hydrology or atmospheric processes OR knowledge of hydrology, surface atmospheric processes and a willingness to learn terrestrial ecology and ecosystem processes.

*          Experience with relevant field instruments and methodologies, such as eddy flux towers, flux chamber measurements, soil sensors, or other field instruments.

*          Experience in working with large datasets and strong data analysis skills, and knowledge of or interest in statistical methods and /or familiarity with machine learning or information theory based approaches.

*          Strong writing and oral communication skills.

*          Strong organizational skills and the ability to coordinate the activities of technical support personnel and undergraduate interns.

*          Demonstrated ability to work independently and in a team environment.

*          Candidates should have a recent Ph.D. in terrestrial ecology, biogeochemistry, ecosystem science, soil science, ecohydrology, atmospheric science, or related field.
