<p class="MsoNormal"><b>Summary</b>:<span>
</span>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.<span>
</span>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.<span> </span>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.<span>
</span><span style="color:black">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.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>Required skills </b>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.<span>
</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>Desired skills </b>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.</p>
