[ES_JOBS_NET] Two postdoctoral fellow position in terrestrial ecosystem modeling and SIF remote sensing

[Min Chen]

*Two postdoctoral fellow positions are opening for applications at the
University of Wisconsin-Madison. Review will start on August 1st 2021, but
will continue until positions are filled.*



The successful candidates will work with a team of scientists led by Dr.
Min Chen (https://sites.google.com/view/chenlab-wisc/) on any one of the
below two NASA-funded projects, and will have opportunities to closely
collaborate with scientists in other top institutions:

§   a project focusing on integrated understanding of the ecosystem changes
in the Arctic Boreal Vulnerability Experiment (ABoVE;
https://above.nasa.gov/) domain and their socioeconomic impacts. The
project develops and uses an integrated human-Earth system modeling
framework (the Global Change Assessment Model) and data assimilation to
quantify how the NASA data (both remote sensing and in-situ data) would
help reduce the uncertainties of estimated Arctic land-atmosphere carbon
and energy exchanges, and how such improvements would further inform
climate change mitigation strategies.

§   a project funded by NASA remote sensing theory program that aims to
better understand and use the remotely sensed solar-induced chlorophyll
fluorescence (SIF) by developing/using a leaf-to-canopy radiative transfer
models.



*Starting date: *Flexible per discussion.



*Qualifications: *Applicants should hold a PhD by the time of appointment
in the field of broad discipline of Earth system science. Expertise in land
surface/terrestrial ecosystem modeling, integrated assessment modeling and
analysis, quantitative remote sensing, radiative transfer modeling,
model-data fusion, numerical/statistical analysis are highly preferred.
Strong programming skills are desired. Proficiency in spoken/written
English is mandatory. The appointment will be renewed annually, contingent
upon the performance. Salary is competitive and commensurate with
experience in relevant research.



*How to apply: *Qualified candidates should send a cover letter, a most
recent CV and contact information of three references via email to
min.chen at wisc.edu. Qualified applicants will be reviewed upon receiving the
application while the search may continue until the position is filled. *We
greatly appreciate all the applications, but we will only give feedback to
those candidates that we plan to interview.* Please contact Dr. Min Chen
for any questions.
