The project will involve analysis of Earth System Model (ESM) predictions and development of observationally-based model benchmarks. We seek talented applicants with skills in (1) application of ESMs to analyze land-atmosphere interactions, ecosystem processes, and demography; (2) sensitivity analysis and uncertainty quantification; (3) quantification of feedback processes; (4) analysis of site-level and remote sensing data to develop benchmarks for ESM land model evaluation; and (5) the analysis and interpretation of large datasets (e.g., CMIP5). </div><div style="margin: 0px; font-size: 10px; font-family: Optima; min-height: 12px;"><br></div><div style="margin: 0px; font-size: 10px; font-family: Optima;">The successful candidate may focus on several groups of important tropical ecosystem and atmospheric interactions and analyses, including: (1) sensitivity experiments to mimic experimental manipulations; (2) conducting global model experiments to test the sensitivity of tropical forests to increasing atmospheric CO2, nutrient limitation, rising temperature, and land use change; (3) investigating multi-model tropical ecosystem responses to climate change; (4) testing improvements to the representation of nutrient limitations relevant to tropical regions; and (5) identifying tropical ecoregions and representativeness of potential sampling locations. Although the position will begin with a focus on tropical systems, we seek an interdisciplinary scientist with expertise and interests in diverse terrestrial systems.</div><div style="margin: 0px; font-size: 10px; font-family: Optima; min-height: 12px;"><br></div><div style="margin: 0px; font-size: 10px; font-family: Optima;">The work will require an applicant with a wide range of skills: (1) good understanding of the tropical biogeochemical processes most important for climate prediction; (2) ability to manipulate and analyze large observational and model-derived datasets; (3) ability to perform statistical and analytical analyses of interactions between the terrestrial biosphere and atmosphere; (4) oral and written presentation of results; and (5) ability to work in an integrated team environment.</div><div style="margin: 0px; font-size: 10px; font-family: Optima; min-height: 12px;"><br></div><div style="margin: 0px; font-size: 10px; font-family: Optima;"><b>SPECIFIC RESPONSIBILITIES: </b></div><div style="margin: 0px; font-size: 10px; font-family: Optima;">•<span style="font-family: 'Lucida Grande';"> </span>Perform uncertainty and sensitivity quantification</div><div style="margin: 0px; font-size: 10px; font-family: Optima;">•<span style="font-family: 'Lucida Grande';"> </span>Use existing experimental and observational datasets to evaluate existing model structures and parameterizations</div><div style="margin: 0px; font-size: 10px; font-family: Optima;">•<span style="font-family: 'Lucida Grande';"> </span>Evaluate land and atmospheric biogeophysical feedbacks and their uncertainty.</div><div style="margin: 0px; font-size: 10px; font-family: Optima;">•<span style="font-family: 'Lucida Grande';"> </span>Manipulate and analyze large observational and model-derived datasets.</div><div style="margin: 0px; font-size: 10px; font-family: Optima;">•<span style="font-family: 'Lucida Grande';"> </span>Work as a member of a large multidisciplinary research team.</div><div style="margin: 0px; font-size: 10px; font-family: Optima;">•<span style="font-family: 'Lucida Grande';"> </span>Author technical reports and peer-reviewed journal articles.</div><div style="margin: 0px; font-size: 10px; font-family: Optima; min-height: 12px;"><br></div><div style="margin: 0px; font-size: 10px; font-family: Optima;"><b>KEY SUCCESS FACTORS: </b></div><div style="margin: 0px; font-size: 10px; font-family: Optima;">•<span style="font-family: 'Lucida Grande';"> </span>Recent PhD or postdoctoral experience;</div><div style="margin: 0px; font-size: 10px; font-family: Optima;">•<span style="font-family: 'Lucida Grande';"> </span>Ability to analyze coupled atmosphere and land-surface models to characterize feedbacks;</div><div style="margin: 0px; font-size: 10px; font-family: Optima;">•<span style="font-family: 'Lucida Grande';"> </span>Research experience in analysis and interpretation of complex datasets. </div><div style="margin: 0px; font-size: 10px; font-family: Optima;">•<span style="font-family: 'Lucida Grande';"> </span>Established record of peer reviewed articles.</div><div style="margin: 0px; font-size: 10px; font-family: Optima;">•<span style="font-family: 'Lucida Grande';"> </span>Ability to work creatively, independently, and productively;</div><div style="margin: 0px; font-size: 10px; font-family: Optima;">•<span style="font-family: 'Lucida Grande';"> </span>Oral and written presentation of results; and</div><div style="margin: 0px; font-size: 10px; font-family: Optima;">•<span style="font-family: 'Lucida Grande';"> </span>Ability to work in an integrated team environment.</div><div style="margin: 0px; font-size: 10px; font-family: Optima; min-height: 12px;"><br></div><div style="margin: 0px; font-size: 10px; font-family: Optima;"><b>NOTE:</b> This is a 1 year term appointment with the possibility of renewal.
