The successful applicant will work in a team to use in-situ measurements, remote sensing data, and modeling methods to evaluate the natural, agricultural, and societal sources and sinks of atmospheric greenhouse gases with the goal of moving Hawaii towards it’s legislated goal of being carbon neutral by 2045.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;line-height:normal'><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;line-height:normal'><b><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif'>Organization</span></b><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif'>: U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Forest Science, Pacific Southwest Station, Institute of Pacific Islands Forestry (IPIF) in Hilo, Hawaii<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;line-height:normal'><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;line-height:normal'><b><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif'>Location</span></b><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif'>: Hilo, Hawaii<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;line-height:normal'><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;line-height:normal'><b><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif'>Qualifications</span></b><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif'>: Ph.D. in ecology, ecological economics, geography, sustainability science, climate policy, or equivalent and strong quantitative, modeling, and/or remote sensing analysis skills and experiences.
