Dear Colleagues,



I hope this message finds you well.  Next week, two post-doc level
positions at my center will be announced on USAJOBS (
https://www.usajobs.gov/GetJob/ViewDetails/367744800).  These positions
would be ideal for someone with interests in disturbances and their impacts
on carbon cycling and other ecosystem services.  The job duties listed in
the posting are:



- Carrying out studies that monitor, assess, understand, and project
ecosystem disturbances (e.g., fire, insects and diseases, extreme weather)
and their resulting impacts on vegetation, carbon stocks and fluxes, and
other ecosystem services (e.g., biodiversity or water quality).



- Using advanced remote sensing, geospatial statistical methods, and
process-based ecosystem modeling techniques to develop and implement
methods related to ecosystem disturbances and their impacts.



- Serving as a team member in interdisciplinary and interagency projects of
scientific research, developing plans of action for organizing and
conducting research and to communicating with managers and scientists
within the agency and with outside agencies as required to meet research
objectives and to exchange information and scientific results.



- Contribute to professional and scientific knowledge by presenting their
work at scientific conferences and publishing through reports and
peer-reviewed scientific journals.



These are 2-year positions at the GS-12 level, but could be extended 2
years beyond that depending on the availability of funding.  If you know
anyone who is interested in applying and may have questions about the
positions, I would encourage them to contact me with questions.  If they
are serious about applying, I would encourage them to submit their
applications as soon as possible because only the first 50 will be accepted.



Best wishes,

Todd
