Summary:*

Are you interested in being part of an exciting collaboration between
Alaska EPSCoR (Established Program to Stimulate Competitive Research) and
the Alaska fire management community? The Geophysical Institute (GI) is
seeking applications for a one-year Post Doctoral Fellow in fire spread
modeling. This position is located in Fairbanks, AK which has access to
many hiking and ski trails as well as opportunities to view the northern
lights. If you are interested in working within a supportive team
environment, we encourage you to apply!

*Duties:*

Run models for active fire characterization. Conduct statistical analysis
of model output. Process remote sensing data sets in a command line
setting. Work with the project team and Alaska fire management community to
address questions of societal relevance. Successfully submit and publish
scientific manuscripts to peer-reviewed journals.

This postdoctoral fellowship provides an opportunity to co-produce
actionable science that addresses the growing needs of the Alaska wildland
fire management community. You will have the opportunity to practice data
science and use models for active fire characterization. Observational data
from the Alaska EPSCoR Boreal Fire component will also be utilized to
interpret and validate models of active fire behavior. Case studies will be
prioritized for the 2021 Munson Creek and Dry Creek Fires, for which
significant observational data has been collected. This position is
affiliated with the GI's Atmospheric Science Group
