<div class="">Applications are invited for a postdoctoral position to participate on a NASA-funded project to understand seasonal carbon exchange in high latitude terrestrial ecosystems. The position will be based at the University of Michigan in the Climate
and Space Science and Engineering department, and the postdoctoral researcher will work with Professor Gretchen Keppel-Aleks. The research will contribute to NASA's Arctic and Boreal Vulnerability Experiment (ABOVE), and the postdoctoral scholar will use
remote sensing observations, atmospheric CO<sub class="">2</sub> observations, and coupled land-atmosphere models to understand the causes of amplification of the atmospheric CO<sub class="">2
</sub>mean annual cycle over the last several decades.</div>
