<h3>Targeted Postdoctoral Fellowship in Spatial Biology</h3>
<p style="margin-top:8px;margin-bottom:8px">
Applications are currently being accepted for a postdoctoral
position in spatial biology in the <a
href="http://www.nimbios.org/sal/">Spatial Analysis Lab</a>
(SAL) at NIMBioS in collaboration with the <a
href="http://eeb.bio.utk.edu" target="_blank">Department of
Ecology & Evolutionary Biology</a> (EEB) at the University
of Tennessee at Knoxville. This is a full-time, two-year position,
with the potential for a limited-time-period renewal.
</p>
<p style="margin-top:8px;margin-bottom:8px">
The postdoctoral fellow will integrate remote sensing tools with
publicly available data to answer interdisciplinary topics in
Global Environmental Change (with possible foci in macroecology,
physiology, and environmental sociology and economics). The fellow
will be expected to participate in and contribute to NIMBioS
activities. Technical remote sensing expertise is required,
specifically experience in data-fusion techniques and in working
with multiple types of remotely sensed data (multispectral +
hyperspectral or multispectral + radar or multipectral + lidar,
etc.). The most competitive candidates would have had experience
collating, processing, and analyzing large datasets (e.g.,
biodiversity, physiology, climate, agriculture/land-use, economic
trade) at the regional and/or global scale(s) and have published
some of this work in leading peer-reviewed journals. The
postdoctoral fellow will be mentored by <a
