[ES_JOBS_NET] UIUC Agroecosystem Sustainability Center recruiting PhD students, Postdocs, and Research Scientists

[Kaiyu Guan]

Dear Colleagues,

*Agroecosystem Sustainability Center (ASC)*
<https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rcHoWLcm_Xw&feature=youtu.be> at
University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign (UIUC) is recruiting multiple *PhD
students*, *postdoctoral scholars*, and *research scientists* on *ecosystem
modeling and sensing*. Detailed information can be found *here
<http://faculty.nres.illinois.edu/~kaiyuguan/ASC_UIUC_recruiting_2024.pdf>*.


*We are recruiting talents from the following research topics*: (see a
recent *review*
<https://linkinghub.elsevier.com/retrieve/pii/S0012825223001514>).

*1) Advancing ecosystem modeling (using ecosys, CESM, etc) for coupled
carbon, water and nutrient cycles in agricultural ecosystems. *The
candidates will work on improving existing ecosystem models or developing
new modules with new theories and observational evidence.

*2) Advancing ecosystem remote sensing, including ground/airborne/satellite
hyperspectral sensing, and big-data analytics of satellite algorithms.* The
candidates will work on generating new insights and data products from
geospatial big data with radiative transfer modeling, computer vision, and
artificial intelligence (AI).

*3) Advancing Model-Data Fusion by integrating advanced modeling with data
to quantify agricultural ecosystem services, e.g. GHG (N2O, CH4), soil
health, water resources, using supercomputing and AI. *The candidates will
work on building or improving effective, scalable and efficient model-data
fusion methods.

*4) Measuring and processing gas exchange (CO2, N2O, and water vapor)
between the land surface and the atmosphere using the eddy covariance
technique*. The candidate will work on field data collection, conducting
eddy covariance data analysis to understand the mechanistic basis of mass
and energy exchange between the land surface and the atmosphere, and
modeling those processes in the ecosystem models.


Examples of our recent research highlights can be found *here
<http://faculty.nres.illinois.edu/~kaiyuguan/ASC_UIUC_recruiting_2024.pdf>.
*Successful
candidates will work with a transdisciplinary team composed of leading
experts in earth system modeling, plant physiology, biogeochemistry,
hydrology, soil science, agronomy, and remote sensing, AI (Detailed
information can be found *here
<http://faculty.nres.illinois.edu/~kaiyuguan/ASC_UIUC_recruiting_2024.pdf>)*
.


Thanks for your support and interest!
