[Winslow Hansen]

*Positions available: Postdoctoral Associate*

*Forest carbon modeling,*

*Forest Futures Lab*

*Postdoctoral Position:* We seek two postdoctoral research associates to
develop realistic estimates of current and future carbon storage in forests
of the Northeastern United States and western North America. Specifically,
the postdoctoral associates will use USDA Forest Inventory and Analysis
permanent plot data and forest simulations to 1) quantify carbon stocks and
rates of sequestration in forests and harvested wood products over the last
two decades, 2) identify the social and biophysical drivers of spatial and
temporal variation in forest carbon storage, and 3) develop projections of
potential future carbon storage in forests under scenarios of climate
change. The postdoctoral associates will join a vibrant and growing team at
the Forest Futures Lab based at Cary Institute of Ecosystem Studies. Cary
Institute of Ecosystem Studies is the world’s premier think tank on
ecosystem science. It is a uniquely collaborative and welcoming
institution. The successful candidates will be provided resources for
travel related to the project and will have many opportunities for
professional development beyond the project. For additional information on
the Forest Futures Lab, visit http://forestfutureslab.org/. For additional

preferred.



*Location:* Millbrook, NY. Remote work is a possibility for exceptional
candidates but not preferred.



*Qualifications:* Applicants must have completed a Ph.D. in forest ecology,
