Dear all,<br>
We've extended the application deadline for this position. While in
an ideal world, we'd find a great candidate ready to start this
summer, we're also willing to wait a bit if necessary to hire the
best person for the position. <br>
<br>
Thanks for circulating to great candidates!<br>

Summary:</b></div>
<div style="margin: 0px;"><span style="font-size: 12px;">The
Climate and Carbon Sciences Program at Lawrence
Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) seeks a
creative postdoctoral scientist to improve the next
generation of dynamic global vegetation models.</span></div>
<div style="margin: 0px; min-height: 12px;"><span
style="font-size: 12px;"><br>
</span></div>
<div style="margin: 0px;"><span style="font-size: 12px;">The
primary goal of this project is to advance Earth
system model representation of changes in forest
distribution and structure with climate change.
Science questions of interest include, How will
climate change alter the turnover of individual
trees and of carbon in forest ecosystems? How
sensitive are rates of forest range shifts to
interannual and multi-decadal climate variability?
How sensitive is forest development to variation in
tree recruitment following disturbance? With what
level of detail must forest demographic processes be
represented to accurately capture forest responses
to climate change at regional scales?</span></div>
<div style="margin: 0px; min-height: 12px;"><span
style="font-size: 12px;"><br>
</span></div>
<div style="margin: 0px;"><span style="font-size: 12px;">The
postdoctoral fellow will interact closely with field
experimentalists and numerical modelers conducting
research on tree demography and physiology,
demographic modeling, land-atmosphere interactions,
and Earth system modeling. The project involves a
wide range of activities including (a) synthesis of
data from diverse sources, such as permanent plots
and field experiments, to create observational
benchmarks for land surface models with plant
demography schemes (e.g., ED2, CLM(ED)); (b) model
sensitivity studies examining dependence of forest
distribution and structure on uncertain assumptions;
and (c) algorithm development for key processes such
as tree recruitment and seed dispersal. The primary
regions of interest are Western North America and
the moist-wet tropics.</span></div>

style="font-size: 12px;"><br>
</span></div>
<div style="margin: 0px;"><span style="font-size: 12px;">The
successful candidate will join a large, dynamic, and
interdisciplinary department that is making climate
and ecosystem observations and developing and
applying ecosystem, atmospheric process, and climate
models. Collaborating principal investigators are
Lara Kueppers, Jeff Chambers, Charlie Koven, Nate
McDowell (LANL), Rosie Fisher (NCAR) and others.
Berkeley Lab is a renowned center of scientific
expertise in many facets of climate-related
fundamental and applied science. The position starts
Summer 2015.</span></div>
