The Alaska Coastal Rainforest Center at the University of Alaska Southeast<br>
(UAS) is seeking a postdoctoral scholar [1] to work on a recently funded NSF<br>
project to understand materials flux in linked terrestrial-marine ecosystems.<br>
The position will take the lead in creating and publishing terrestrial carbon<br>
assessments and working with other disciplines to create a whole-system level<br>
understanding of carbon dynamics, transport, and fates. The position will be<br>
located in Juneau, Alaska, with opportunity to travel and work with team<br>
members at other institutions in the US and Canada as needed. </p>
<p>-------------</p>
<p>The Alaska Coastal Rainforest Center at the University of Alaska Southeast<br>
(UAS) seeks a postdoctoral scholar to work on a recently funded NSF project<br>
to understand materials flux in linked terrestrial-marine ecosystems. The<br>
network, funded under a 5-year Research Coordination Network (RCN) grant,<br>
links carbon research across disparate fields, following the production and<br>
fate of carbon from glacial headwaters and upland forests through streams and<br>
rivers to its ultimate endpoint in marine food webs and potential<br>
deposition. This position will take the lead in creating and publishing<br>
terrestrial C stock assessments along the North Pacific coast, one of the<br>
most carbon-dense forested systems in the world, with a specific focus on<br>
linking model outputs to lateral carbon transport models to generate a true<br>
terrestrial to ocean perspective on C transport. The position will be<br>
located in Juneau, Alaska, with opportunity to travel and work with team<br>
members at other institutions in the US and Canada as needed.</p>
<p>The position is a one-year term, benefit-eligible position with a chance for<br>
renewal. All applicants must have a PhD in a relevant field (e.g.,<br>
forest/ecosystem ecology, biogeochemistry, environmental science). The<br>
ideal candidate will have a background and skills in landscape-scale forest<br>
ecosystems and carbon cycling, such as a background in forest soils or<br>
ecosystem-scale flux measurements. Because the goals of the project are<br>
explicitly spatial, the candidate should also have experience using and<br>
manipulating geospatial and remotely sensed datasets, as well as basic<br>
proficiency in programming languages such as R or Python and geospatial<br>
software (e.g., ArcGIS or GRASS). The successful candidate will benefit<br>
from the strong, cross-disciplinary network provided by the RCN including<br>
aquatic biogeochemists, soil scientists, glaciologists, and marine scientists<br>
all working collaboratively on the same questions.</p>
<p>The postdoc will work most closely with Allison Bidlack (PI) and Brian Buma<br>
(co-PI) at the University of Alaska Southeast, in Juneau, Alaska, as well as<br>
with members of the interdisciplinary RCN team. The opportunity to travel and<br>
work with team members at other institutions in the US and Canada is<br>
available as needed. All offers include both a competitive salary and<br>
complete University of Alaska employee benefits package. The recruitment<br>
will remain open until filled with the initial applicant review date of April<br>
1, 2017.</p>
