Dear Friends and Colleagues,

A postdoctoral scientist position is available in Dr Natasha MacBean’s
group in the Department of Geography at Indiana University (IU)
Bloomington. Research in the MacBean Lab focuses on understanding the
response of the carbon cycle and terrestrial ecosystems to climate and
environmental change (more information is available here:
https://macbeanlab.com). The postdoctoral researcher would use data
assimilation methods to constrain global carbon cycle sink projections and
modeled carbon-climate feedbacks. The exact scope of the work will be
dependent upon the postdoc’s research experience and interests. Multiple
opportunities exist for collaborations across IU faculty working on
environmental change issues. This position is offered for 2 years from
summer 2019.

Qualifications

   - PhD in geography, environmental science, earth science, biology,
   atmospheric science, computational science or a related field.
   - Knowledge of biogeochemical cycles and land surface processes.
   - Strong publication record.
   - Extensive prior experience working with global scale terrestrial
   biosphere models or equivalent (land surface models, earth system models,
   dynamic vegetation models) is essential.
   - We especially welcome applications from candidates who have prior
   experience working with Bayesian data assimilation methods.
   - Substantial programming experience (preferably with Python and
   FORTRAN) is required.
   - Proficiency in developing/maintaining large datasets and scientific
   codes for numerical simulation and analysis on Linus/Unix OS and high
   performance computing systems
   - Strong inter-personal, collaboration, teamwork and organizational
   skills.


Salary: Commensurate with experience. Full benefits included.

Start date: July-September 2019.

How to apply: please send a CV, cover letter, and 1 page statement of
research interests to nmacbean at indiana.edu. For full consideration please
