The Alaska Coastal Rainforest Center at the University of Alaska Southeast
(UAS) is seeking a postdoctoral scholar [1] to work on a recently funded NSF
project to understand materials flux in linked terrestrial-marine
ecosystems.
The position will take the lead in creating and publishing terrestrial
carbon
assessments and working with other disciplines to create a whole-system
level
understanding of carbon dynamics, transport, and fates. The position will be
located in Juneau, Alaska, with opportunity to travel and work with team
members at other institutions in the US and Canada as needed.

The Alaska Coastal Rainforest Center at the University of Alaska Southeast
(UAS) seeks a postdoctoral scholar to work on a recently funded NSF project
to understand materials flux in linked terrestrial-marine ecosystems.  The
network, funded under a 5-year Research Coordination Network (RCN) grant,
links carbon research across disparate fields, following the production and
fate of carbon from glacial headwaters and upland forests through streams
and
rivers to its ultimate endpoint in marine food webs and potential
deposition.  This position will take the lead in creating and publishing
terrestrial C stock assessments along the North Pacific coast, one of the
most carbon-dense forested systems in the world, with a specific focus on
linking model outputs to lateral carbon transport models to generate a true
terrestrial to ocean perspective on C transport.  The position will be
located in Juneau, Alaska, with opportunity to travel and work with team
members at other institutions in the US and Canada as needed.

The position is a one-year term, benefit-eligible position with a chance for
renewal.  All applicants must have a PhD in a relevant field (e.g.,
forest/ecosystem ecology, biogeochemistry, environmental science).  The
ideal candidate will have a background and skills in landscape-scale forest
ecosystems and carbon cycling, such as a background in forest soils or
ecosystem-scale flux measurements.  Because the goals of the project are
explicitly spatial, the candidate should also have experience using and
manipulating geospatial and remotely sensed datasets, as well as basic
proficiency in programming languages such as R or Python and geospatial
software (e.g., ArcGIS or GRASS).  The successful candidate will benefit
from the strong, cross-disciplinary network provided by the RCN including
aquatic biogeochemists, soil scientists, glaciologists, and marine
scientists
all working collaboratively on the same questions.

The postdoc will work most closely with Allison Bidlack (PI) and Brian Buma
(co-PI) at the University of Alaska Southeast, in Juneau, Alaska, as well as
with members of the interdisciplinary RCN team. The opportunity to travel
and
work with team members at other institutions in the US and Canada is
available as needed.  All offers include both a competitive salary and
complete University of Alaska employee benefits package.  The recruitment
will remain open until filled with the initial applicant review date of
April
1, 2017.
