[ES_JOBS_NET] Ph.D. position in carbon cycle at University of Oklahoma

[Wu, Xiaocui]

Dr. Xiangming Xiao is seeking one highly motivated graduate student to join the interdisciplinary research team at the
Center for Earth Observation and Modeling (http://www.ceom.ou.edu), University of Oklahoma.

The candidate could start in fall, 2021 or spring, 2022.

GRA Position #1 (Remote Sensing and Carbon Cycle). The candidate will study terrestrial
carbon cycle across multiple spatial scales by combining Earth observations from in-situ, air- and
space-borne sensors, in-situ observatory, data-driven and process-based biogeochemical models.

Graduate Program: Candidates will apply for Ph.D. graduate program in Ecology and
Evolutionary Biology (EEB) at the Department of Microbiology and Plant Biology, the
University of Oklahoma, Norman, Oklahoma, USA. See http://mpbio.ou.edu and
http://www.ou.edu/eeb/ for more information on the graduate study program.

Qualification: Candidates need to have a B.Sc. or M.Sc. degree in the fields of biology, or
ecology, geography, natural resources, forestry, agriculture, atmospheric science, environmental
science, Earth System science, statistics, mathematics, data science, and computer science.
Candidates need to have work experience in one or more areas: in-situ data collection, remote
sensing, GIS, biogeochemical models, computer programming language (e.g., Python,
JavaScript, IDL, C++, C), and statistic software (e.g., R, Matlab). Good communication and
writing skills are needed.

Financial Support: The successful candidates will be supported with tuition payment and
Graduate Research Assistantship (GRA) stipend (US$27,660 for the first year with an annual
increase of 3% for the other years). The financial support is renewable annually dependent upon
