The successful candidate will lead the inverse analysis of airborne data collected over tundra and boreal forest ecosystems as part of the NASA ABoVE Program. The candidate will develop and apply high resolution models to explore ecosystems response to climate change. Participation in work on a variety of related ongoing projects is encouraged. </p><p style="margin:1em 0px 0px;padding:0px;border:0px;outline:0px;vertical-align:baseline;font-family:"Open Sans",sans-serif;font-size:15px;font-stretch:inherit;line-height:inherit;color:rgb(0,0,0)">Strong written and oral communication skills are essential. Experience working with statistical, machine learning, or modeling approaches is desired. A background in either atmospheric or ecological sciences is helpful, but not required. Coding with scripting languages such as Python, R or Matlab will be part of the project. A Ph.D. in atmospheric or ecological science, engineering, or comparable discipline is necessary before starting employment. Funding is available for a 2-3 year period, and is contingent on satisfactory progress in years 1 and 2. The anticipated start date is January 2018.</p><p style="margin:1em 0px 0px;padding:0px;border:0px;outline:0px;vertical-align:baseline;font-family:"Open Sans",sans-serif;font-size:15px;font-stretch:inherit;line-height:inherit;color:rgb(0,0,0)"><strong style="margin:0px;padding:0px;border:0px;outline:0px;vertical-align:baseline;font-family:inherit;font-size:inherit;font-style:inherit;font-variant-caps:inherit;font-stretch:inherit;line-height:inherit">Application Procedure </strong><br>A complete application will include:<br>(a) A cover letter<br>(b) CV<br>(c) One or two research papers<br>(d) Contact info for 2 references</p><p style="margin:1em 0px 0px;padding:0px;border:0px;outline:0px;vertical-align:baseline;font-family:"Open Sans",sans-serif;font-size:15px;font-stretch:inherit;line-height:inherit;color:rgb(0,0,0)">Applicants should email items (a)-(d) as a single PDF file to Roisin Commane (<a href="mailto:rcommane@g.harvard.edu">rcommane@g.harvard.edu</a>) AND Steve Wofsy (<a href="mailto:wofsy@g.harvard.edu">wofsy@g.harvard.edu</a>) using "Postdoctoral position in the field of carbon dynamics of Arctic ecosystems” as the title of the email.</p><p style="margin:1em 0px 0px;padding:0px;border:0px;outline:0px;vertical-align:baseline;font-family:"Open Sans",sans-serif;font-size:15px;font-stretch:inherit;line-height:inherit;color:rgb(0,0,0)"><span style="margin:0px;padding:0px;border:0px;outline:0px;vertical-align:baseline;font-family:inherit;font-size:inherit;font-style:italic;font-variant-caps:inherit;font-stretch:inherit;line-height:inherit">Harvard University is an equal opportunity employer and all qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex, national origin, disability status, protected veteran status, or any other characteristic protected by law.</span></p></div><div><span style="margin:0px;padding:0px;border:0px;outline:0px;vertical-align:baseline;font-family:inherit;font-size:inherit;font-style:italic;font-variant-caps:inherit;font-stretch:inherit;line-height:inherit"><br></span></div><div><br></div><br clear="all"><div><div class="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><font color="#000000">Róisín Commane</font><div><div><font color="#000000">Research Associate</font></div><div><font color="#000000">Harvard School of Engineering and Applied Sciences</font></div><div><font color="#000000">Cambridge MA</font></div><div><font color="#000000"><br></font></div><div><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0)"><a href="mailto:rcommane@g.harvard.edu" target="_blank">rcommane@g.harvard.edu</a></span><font color="#000000"><br></font></div><div><font color="#000000"><a href="http://www.people.fas.harvard.edu/~rcommane" target="_blank">www.people.fas.harvard.edu/~rcommane</a></font></div></div><div><font color="#000000">617-501-1406</font></div></div></div></div>
