The University of Arizona Center<br>
for Environmental Physics and Mineralogy and Environmental Pedology lab<br>
solicit<br>
applications from prospective postdoctoral scientists to conduct<br>
collaborative<br>
soil science research focused on the application of geospatial, statistical,<br>
and field measurement techniques to the digital soil mapping (DSM) of soil<br>
physical, chemical, and biological properties and soil-landscape<br>
classification. Project work will span spatial scales ranging<br>
from small first order catchments to areas over 250,000 ha, and span diverse<br>
environments from arid and semiarid ecosystems to wet tropical forests, with<br>
a<br>
particular focus on the Southwest US. Required<br>
qualifications include a Ph.D. in soil science or closely related field. <br>
Preferred qualifications include a strong<br>
background in soil and landscape modeling techniques, including geospatial<br>
and<br>
geostatistical analyses, use of remote sensing products such as LandSat and<br>
MODIS, digital terrain modeling, and geographic information system<br>
applications. We have immediate need for<br>
an individual that can assist in project management, including data analysis<br>
and modeling, working with graduate students and other postdoctoral<br>
scientists,<br>
and active participation in grant and manuscript writing. A particular<br>
focus of this position in the<br>
near term will include working across sites that are part of the Critical<br>
Zone<br>
Observatory (CZO) network with the aim of developing cross-CZO publications<br>
and<br>
DSM techniques. Current project funding extends over a 3-5 year period with<br>
the<br>
potential to transition the position to an Assistant Research Scientist<br>
appointment with the CEPM. <br>
<br>
Interested applicants should<br>
submit a cover letter of interest and a curriculum vitae to Prof. Craig<br>
Rasmussen (<a href="mailto:crasmss@cals.arizona.edu" target="_blank">crasmss@cals.arizona.edu</a> [1]) for consideration. Please feel<br>
free to contact Craig Rasmussen<br>
for further discussion.<br>
