[ES_JOBS_NET] PostDoc position: biogenic carbon and VOC fluxes in NYC

[Roisin Commane]

Dear all,

The Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory (LDEO) of Columbia University invites
applications for a Postdoctoral Research Scientist to work with us on an
exciting new project studying biosphere-atmosphere exchange of carbon and
biogenic VOCs along urban-to-rural gradients. Specifically, we are
exploring how the unique characteristics of urban landscapes (e.g., urban
heat island, forest fragmentation, air pollution, invasive species)
modulate the ecological processes that influence atmospheric chemistry (
https://atmoscomp.ldeo.columbia.edu/research-projects/urban-composition-chemistry-new-york-city).
This research includes both modeling and field work. Modeling components of
this project include scaling up biogenic carbon and VOC fluxes from
ecosystem to regional scales using remote sensing products, etc.

This position will support the research of Drs. Roisin Commane and Andy
Reinmann. This position is based jointly at LDEO in Palisades, New York,
and the CUNY Advanced Science Research Center in New York City.
Postdoctoral Researchers have PI status at LDEO and are encouraged to
submit proposals to Federal funding agencies to begin their research
career. Lamont postdoc salaries start at $66K and Columbia University
benefits accompany this Officer of Research appointment. This is a
full-time, annual appointment that is presently funded for 2 years.
Appointment renewal will be contingent upon progress and funding.

Please apply online at:
https://pa334.peopleadmin.com/postings/7663

Applicants should have a Ph.D. in ecology, atmospheric chemistry, or
related field and experience with one or more of the following and interest
in learning the others:
• Ecosystem-scale modeling of biogenic carbon or VOCs
• Leaf-level gas/VOC exchange
• Ecosystem CO2 fluxes
• Tree physiology
• Ecophysiology

The researcher is expected to travel for fieldwork in forest and grassland
field sites in the New York Metropolitan Area and Gaithersburg, MD, and
should either have or be able to obtain a US driver’s license. Candidates
should have experience with programming languages such as R, python or IGOR.
Please share with interested colleagues and recent graduates and please
contact Roisin (r.commane at columbia.edu) or Andy (areinmann at gc.cuny.edu)
with any questions.

Thanks,
Roisin
