class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><br>
The National Ecological Observatory Network Project
(NEON) is a National Science Foundation 30+ year project
dedicated to understanding how changes in climate, land
use and invasive species impact ecology. For the next
three decades NEON will collect a comprehensive range of
ecological data on a continental scale across 20
eco-climatic domains representing US ecosystems. NEON will
use cutting edge technology including an airborne
observation platform that will capture images of regional
landscapes and vegetation; mobile, relocatable, and fixed
data collection sites with automated ground sensors to
monitor soil and atmosphere; and trained field crews who
will observe and sample populations of diverse organisms
and collect soil and water data. A leading edge
cyberinfrastructure will calibrate, store and publish this
information. The Observatory includes over 300+ personnel
and will be the first of its kind designed to detect and
enable forecasting of ecological change at continental
scales.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><br>
JOB SUMMARY<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><br>
Reporting to the head of the IS (Instrumented Systems),
the IS Postdoctoral Micrometeorologist will develop
eddy-covariance storage exchange (ECSE) data products,
including algorithm development, code implementation,
documentation, and data product preparation. The
successful candidate will be working with the terrestrial
IS team, which develops data products for an automated
suite of meteorological, atmospheric, soil and
ecophysiological measurements. The IS Postdoctoral
Micrometeorologist will implement a crucial portion of the
NEON eddy-covariance design, directly contributing to
making NEONs flux measurements part of a world-class
observatory through state-of-the-art techniques.<span
