*Postdoctoral fellowships to study tropical forest responses to climate at
Los Alamos National Laboratory.  *



*Summary*:  Two postdoctoral positions are available within the Earth and
Environmental Sciences Division to work on forest mortality modeling and
hydrology modeling of tropical forests in relation to climate change.
Successful
applicants will work with the most recent version of the Community Land
Model (Ecosystem Demography) (CLM(ED)) in collaboration with the National
Center for Atmospheric Research and other DOE national laboratories as part
of the Next Generation Ecosystem Experiment (NGEE) Tropics.  This is a
broad advertisement and all interested parties are invited to apply, as the
final focus of the project will be open to the postdoc’s expertise.  We
encourage applicants who can work across disciplines and draw upon large
and unique data sets to study linkages between large-scale forest processes
and climate change.



*Required skills *include experience using numerical simulation models to
predict land surface processes, demonstrated ability to publish
peer-reviewed papers, effective written and oral communication skills,
willingness to work in a team environment, and a Ph.D. pending or received
within the last five years.



*Desired skills *include knowledge of hydrology, physiological, ecosystem,
population, or community ecology, fortran or C programming, and experience
with the linux operating system. For the mortality position, experience
with CLM or ED is an advantage. For the hydrology position, experience with
3-D numerical models of subsurface proceses, root-zone to leaf level water
transport, and plant-water interactions are advantageous.



*For more information or to apply *please send a resume and a short
statement of your future research goals to Nate McDowell (mcdowell at lanl.gov,
https://sites.google.com/site/lanlveg/home).



Candidates may be considered for a Director's Fellowship and outstanding
candidates may be considered for the prestigious J. Robert Oppenheimer,
Richard P. Feynman or Frederick Reines Fellowships. For general information
