<div>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>2</sub> observations, and
coupled land-atmosphere models to understand the causes of
amplification of the atmospheric CO<sub>2 </sub>mean annual cycle
over the last several decades.</div>

<p class="MsoNormal">Expertise is required in one or more of the
following areas: atmospheric science, biogeochemistry, ecosystem
science, or other aspects of environmental science and
engineering. Applicants should have demonstrated quantitative
skills and a successful publication record. Programming
experience with an atmospheric or Earth system model is
required, with preference towards experience with the NCAR CESM
or the GEOS-Chem atmospheric transport model. </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The initial appointment is for one year, with
the possibility for extension to a second year. Please send a
