<br>
New ideas are all around us, but only a few will change the world. That’s our focus at JPL. We ask the biggest questions, then search the universe for answers—literally. We build upon ideas that have guided generations, then share our discoveries to inspire
generations to come. Your mission—your opportunity—is to seek out the answers that bring us one step closer. If you’re driven to discover, create, and inspire something that lasts a lifetime and beyond, you’re ready for JPL.<br>
<br>
Located in Pasadena, California, JPL has a campus-like environment situated on 177 acres in the foothills of the San Gabriel Mountains and offers a work environment unlike any other: we inspire passion, foster innovation, build collaboration, and reward excellence.<br>
<br>
Responsibilities<br>
<br>
The JPL Postdoctoral Program invites applications for a postdoctoral scholar position in the Carbon Cycle and Ecosystems Group. The successful candidate will help advance global estimates of wetland CH4 emissions estimates and their underlying process controls
by jointly (a) using satellite observations of land-to-atmosphere CH4 emission estimates and eddy covariance data to quantify and constrain processes controlling the wetland CH4 production, (b) advancing the representation of critical processes in global wetland
CH4 emission modeling tools developed at JPL, and (c) quantifying the broader impact of wetland CH4 emissions on the global C cycle and global carbon-climate feedbacks. The successful applicant will support scientific analysis of recent satellite-based CH4
flux estimates, using state-of-the-art Bayesian model-data fusion techniques. The candidate will present their research at conferences and in journal articles, and will assist in the archival and dissemination of satellite-informed global wetland CH4 emission
products. Dr. Anthony Bloom will serve as the postdoctoral advisor.<br>
<br>
Qualifications<br>
<br>
Candidates must have a PhD in Physics, Geophysics, Biogeosciences, or related scientific field. Experience with use of satellite observations and/or in-situ measurements of CH4 fluxes. Experience in the use of terrestrial and atmospheric models for investigating
the global carbon cycle. Experience with data assimilation and/or model-data fusion theory and application. Strong knowledge of how wetland processes affect carbon cycling and methane emissions. A record of relevant peer-reviewed publications and presentations
at major international scientific meetings and conferences. Excellent oral (including public speaking) and written communication skills. Experience in scientific programming, statistical analysis, and data visualization. Eagerness to work with scientists and
support staff from JPL and elsewhere in a highly collaborative project environment. Candidates who have received their PhD within the past five years since the date of their application are eligible. Postdoctoral Scholar positions are awarded for a minimum
of one-year period and may be renewed up to a maximum duration of three years.<br>
<br>
<b>Candidates should submit the following to this site:</b> CV, representative publications, contact information for three references, and a cover letter stating their research accomplishments and interests.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
