of the MIT Integrated Global System Modeling (IGSM) framework. </span>The postdoctoral researchers will each participate in the development, implementation, calibration and evaluation of a crop model within the Global Land System of the IGSM. One postdoc will
focus on crop biogeophysics (e.g., phenology and evapotranspiration), productivity and water demand, while the other postdoc will focus on biogeochemistry (i.e. terrestrial carbon and nitrogen dynamics) with attention to greenhouse gas fluxes from agriculture.
These two postdocs will be expected to work in close collaboration, and to actively engage with developers of global crop and ecosystem models within the community-at-large. The postdocs will also work among faculty, research staff, postdoctoral researchers,
and graduate students in an interdisciplinary group that includes climate scientists and economists.</div>
