[ES_JOBS_NET] 3 yr Postdoc in Environmental / Agroecological Statistics - UC Berkeley Dept of Environmental Science, Policy and Management

[Timothy Bowles PhD]

Hello, Earth Science job list!

I am recruiting a postdoc for a position in Environmental / Agroecological
Statistics <https://aprecruit.berkeley.edu/JPF03863>. This is a three-year
position based at UC Berkeley and co-advised by my colleague Perry de
Valpine, a quantitative ecologist.

I've copied a brief description below, and of course there is more in the
link.

I'd be so grateful if you could share this with any late stage PhD students
or early career postdocs that you know who might be interested.

All best,
Tim

*The Postdoctoral Scholar will conduct statistical modeling of impacts of
extreme climate events on agriculture in relation to different farming
systems. In particular, this postdoc will lead analyses to assess how
diversified cropping systems affect crop production during the types of
stressful weather that will continue to become more frequent and more
severe with climate change. This will include processing existing datasets
spanning approximately one million fields across nine states and two
decades in the U.S. Corn Belt, including crop yields, remotely sensed data
on crop rotation and cover cropping, and environmental variables. The
postdoc will then develop statistical models of crop yield risks in a
Bayesian causal inference framework. This position would be ideal for
either an environmental science PhD with strong statistical training or a
statistics PhD with experience or interest in environmental applications.*
