Vacancy: Researcher in Carbon Cycle Data Assimilation at Lund
University, Sweden <br>
<br>
The Department of Physical Geography and Ecosystem Science is
seeking to appoint a Researcher with a strong background in carbon
cycle modelling, data assimilation, remote sensing, applied
mathematics or physics to work on assimilating remote sensing data
into a terrestrial carbon cycle model. <br>
<br>
The position is part of a newly funded project by the Swedish
National Space Board. The project will use passive microwave
measurements of vegetation properties from the SMOS mission with a
terrestrial biosphere model in a Carbon Cycle Data Assimilation
System. The data will be used to constrain model parameters in the
formulation of the processes regulating the terrestrial carbon
cycle. The results will help to improve estimates of terrestrial
carbon and water fluxes.<br>
<br>
The researcher will be part of an international team operating and
further developing a world-leading system capable of quantifying
terrestrial and oceanic sources and sinks of carbon dioxide through
the assimilation of various data sources (atmospheric CO2
concentrations, satellite-derived vegetation cover, etc.).<br>
<br>
The post will be available for 24 months, with a preferred starting
date of December 2015/ January 2016. <br>
<br>
Closing date for applications: 18 October 2015 <br>
<br>
