The Forrestel & McElrone labs in the UC Davis Department of Viticulture and Enology have an opening for a Postdoctoral Fellow working at the nexus of climate change, field sensing, physiology and water-balance modeling. The postdoc will be expected
to analyze data from sources including but not limited to remote sensing, weather stations, downscaled global climate models, field observations from on-going experiments, and grower-provided on-farm management logs. They will also be expected to lead the
setup of data loggers and sensing equipment in the field, as well as conduct physiological measurements (i.e., gas exchange, water potentials) to complement existing data sources.. Data analysis will be conducted to quantify current water use patterns, irrigation
management strategies in response to heat events, and grapevine physiological response to heat exposure and irrigation treatments. The preferred start date for this appointment is January 2020, but there is some flexibility in start date for the right applicant.
The initial term of employment is one year, with the potential for renewal contingent upon performance and funding. </div>
