Subject: Postdoc: dryland ecohydrology & vegetation dynamics

We are seeking a postdoctoral researcher to study the ecohydrology of
dryland ecosystems. The project will utilize a water balance simulation
model to answer questions about plant community and ecosystem-scale water=

dynamics of grassland, shrubland and dryland forest ecosystems in respons=
e
to altered disturbance regimes and climate conditions across western Nort=
h
America. This position will be a part of a larger collaborative research
team led by the USGS Southwest Biological Science Center (Flagstaff, AZ) =
and
the University of Wyoming (Laramie, WY.). The position will be located in=

Flagstaff. This work is funded by the U.S. Geological Survey and the U.S.=

Forest Service and will build upon on regional datasets of driving and
response variables.=20=20
