[ES_JOBS_NET] Ecosystem Modeler Research Scientist (Climate and Ecosystems) -

[Christine Wiedinmyer]

Ecosystem Modeler Research Scientist (Climate and Ecosystems) - 86369

Organization: CE-Climate & Ecosystems

 

Berkeley Lab's Climate and Ecosystems Division has an opening for a Research
Scientist.

 

This Research Scientist position is for an individual with expertise in
high-latitude terrestrial biogeochemistry, plant processes, land-surface
modeling, and land-climate interactions. 

 

The successful candidate will focus on several groups of important
high-latitude terrestrial ecosystem processes, including: (1) carbon,
nitrogen, and phosphorus biogeochemistry; (2) plant processes and nutrient
competition; (3) coupled hydrological and biogeochemical cycles; and (4)
impacts on the surface energy budget due to changes in vegetation and
nutrient cycling. Foci will be on high-latitude systems and their
interactions with the atmosphere. A primary goal of this position will be to
develop realistic, mechanistic, and testable land models that can be applied
across spatial and temporal scales. Analyzing interactions between the
atmosphere and terrestrial biosphere will also be an important component of
the research.

 

This is a three-year term position with the possibility of being extended to
five years and/or converted to career, based on continued performance and
availability of funding.

 

What You Will Do:

? Develop and apply mathematical models for high-latitude and global
terrestrial processes.

? Evaluate biogeochemical and plant physiological interactions and their
effects on carbon and energy exchanges with the atmosphere.

? Work creatively, independently, and productively.

? Work as a member of a large multidisciplinary research team.

? Author technical reports and peer-reviewed journal articles.

 

What is Required:

? Advanced degree or equivalent work experience in a related field (Ph.D.
preferred).

? Strong numerical modeling skills

? Demonstrated use of state-of-the-art land-surface biogeochemical models

? Ability to develop numerical representations of complex inter-related
terrestrial ecosystem processes suitable for site, regional, and global
scale models;

? Demonstrated ability to develop and deliver oral and written presentation
of results;

? Record of publications

? Demonstrated ability to collaborate with and/or lead others in projects

 

The posting shall remain open until the position is filled, but for best
consideration, please apply by 4/2/19.

 

Notes:

? Appointment Type:

   - Career Track Appointment - This is a full time, 3 year,, career-track
term appointment that may be renewed to a maximum of five years and that may
be converted to career based upon satisfactory job performance, continuing
availability of funds, and ongoing operational needs.

? Work Schedule:

   -  Full-time, M-F, exempt (monthly paid) from overtime pay.

? Background Check:

   - This position may be subject to a background check. Any convictions
will be evaluated to determine if they directly relate to the
responsibilities and requirements of the position. Having a conviction
history will not automatically disqualify an applicant from being considered
for employment.

? Work will be primarily performed at:

  - Lawrence Berkeley National Lab, 1 Cyclotron Road, Berkeley, CA.
