[ES_JOBS_NET] post-doc position: drought, ecosystems, remote sensing and eddy-covariance

[Trevor Keenan]

Dear ES jobs,

I have an opening for a postdoctoral scholar position based in the
Department of Environmental, Science, Policy & Management at UC Berkeley.
The postdoc will participate in the NSF-funded PREEVENTS project, aimed at
advancing efforts to understand and forecast flash droughts. The work will
focus on three characteristic features of flash droughts: (1) the role of
land surface memory, such that observations of vegetation and soil moisture
status can provide early indications of flash drought risk; (2) evaporative
demand as a leading driver of flash drought onset; (3) the central role of
vegetation in flash drought development through its influence on soil
moisture and heat fluxes. To do so, the postdoctoral researcher will
use *eddy-covariance
observations, remote sensing, machine learning and land surface models* to
improve our understanding of local to global drought and ecological
forecasting.

Please spread the word. The position will remain open until filled, but
apply ASAP if you are interested as we will start reviewing applicants soon.
See here for more details and the link to apply:

Thanks and best wishes,
Trevor
