[ES_JOBS_NET] Fwd: Listserve - CZEN: USGS Mendenhall Postdoctoral Fellowship Opportunity in Soil Carbon Cycle Synthesis and Modeling

[Becca Barnes]

"USGS Mendenhall Postdoctoral Fellowship Opportunity in Soil Carbon Cycle
Synthesis and Modeling" has been added by Corey Lawrence to Listserve - CZEN
on CZEN.org.

*US Geological Survey Mendenhall Postdoctoral
Fellowship Opportunity:*

*From Pore to
Profile to Planet: Improving predictions of soil carbon dynamics through
data-model synthesis*

This research opportunity
provides the chance for an innovative early-career scientist to make
significant advances in our capacity to effectively model terrestrial C
cycle
responses to climate change. While we do not want to limit the directions
proposed by applicants, areas we believe are especially fruitful are: (1)
integration
of highly mechanistic modeling approaches to soil C transformations (e.g.,
reactive transport models) with empirical based biogeochemical models (e.g.,
regional, national, and global models); (2) improvement in the
accessibility/utility of datasets for the development, evaluation, and
testing
of C models; (3) scaling of models across varying complexity, temporal
and/or
spatial
scale.

*Proposed Duty
Station:  *Denver, CO (with potential for time spent in Moab, UT;
Menlo Park, CA)

*Areas of Ph.D.: * Biogeochemistry, Geochemistry, Soil Science, or
related disciplines (candidates holding a Ph.D. in other disciplines but
with
knowledge and skills relevant to the Research Opportunity may be
considered).

*Research Advisor(s):* Corey Lawrence; Sasha Reed; Todd Hawbaker; Mark
Waldrop; Crystal Ng
(University of Minnesota)
