[ES_JOBS_NET] postdoctoral scientist: Anthropogenic carbon emissions

[Kevin R Gurney]

Job Title: Postdoctoral scientist: remote sensing and urban carbon emissions

School of Informatics, Computing and Cyber Systems
Northern Arizona University
Flagstaff, Arizona
Join an exciting Northern Arizona University research team (gurneylab.nau.edu<http://gurneylab.nau.edu>) in beautiful Flagstaff, Arizona doing cutting-edge research on the carbon cycle and climate change. This postdoctoral position will perform research on quantification and analysis of fossil fuel CO2 emissions at fine space/time scales in urban areas within the US and globally. Working with the “Hestia” emissions information system (hestia.rc.nau.edu<http://hestia.rc.nau.edu>), the postdoctoral scientist will explore the use of remote sensing to estimate fossil fuel CO2 in global cities. The position intersects the disciplines of carbon cycle science, spatial analysis, remote sensing, urban science/policy, informatics, and emissions accounting.
Candidates must have received a PhD in a field related to position (eg. Informatics, GIS/Geography, Civil Engineering, Economics, Ecological/Environmental Sciences) from an accredited college or university. The applicant will be expected to publish peer-reviewed journal articles and work in a team environment, effectively communicating with a range of physical and social scientists.
Necessary skills: geospatial statistics, strong numerical analysis abilities, experience working with remote sensing data products, R/python programming. Desired skills: carbon accounting/footprinting experience, GIS experience, policy/economics analysis experience.
Given the multidisciplinary nature of the research, a highly self-directed, creative and self-motivated individual is sought. The position is a fulltime appointment made initially for one year with possibility of extension for additional years. Salary range is $50,000-$55,000 dependent on experience, with associated University benefits.
